In this video, Patrick McKeown explores how breath-holding can supercharge your training, improve your oxygen efficiency, and help you adapt to high-intensity demands.

Why Use Breath Holding?
✅ Forces the body to adapt to lower oxygen and higher carbon dioxide levels.
✅ Reduces breathlessness and improves breathing muscle strength.
✅ Enhances endurance by conditioning the body to cope with high-intensity efforts.
✅ Harnesses nitric oxide for improved oxygen uptake and circulation.

Comparing Training Methods:
Mouth Open Sprinting 🏃‍♂️: Minimal impact on oxygen and CO₂ levels.
Mouth Closed Sprinting 🚀: More effective but extremely challenging and not recommended due to excessive strain.
Breath Holding (During Jog, Run, or Sprint):
Blood oxygen saturation drops to ~85% 📉.
CO₂ increases to ~50 mmHg, triggering adaptations.
Nasal nitric oxide accumulates, boosting lung function and circulation.

How to Incorporate Breath Holding in Your Training:
🔹 Use short breath holds during jogging, running, or sprinting.
🔹 Add it to your pre-competition preparation for a physiological advantage.
🔹 Practice regularly for optimal results in endurance and recovery.

💨 Breath holding is a game-changer for any athlete, runner, or fitness enthusiast looking to push their limits and enhance performance. Learn how to integrate breath-holding into your running, sprinting, and pre-competition preparation for improved performance and resilience.
