For those of you who haven't read our pilot study from the first round of research, here it is: https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/ijesab/vol15/iss5/20/

We FINALLY just got our IRB approval from NYIT, and we will be starting our next study looking at the effects of my hypoventilation technique on

Blood lactate

HRV

heart-rate

blood oxygen (spO2)

what we are aiming to firstly look at is: how does the breathing technique compare to tradition altitude training in terms of continuous Spo2 (we have the software now in the lab to measure this!) vs the self submitted numbers from the pilot study...and also, does slow breathing effect levels of blood lactate at lower intensities of exercise..potentially opening up a conversation for using lower intensity exercise in combination with slow breathing to achieve the benefits of lactate exposure during exercise for those who cannot perform traditional high intensity exercise :-)

We shall see !!
