Let's talk CO2 tolerance during intense exercise. Breathwork and CO2 tolerance have started to gain attention not only for improving physical performance but also for enhancing mental improvement. Early in the 90s the focus for improving these parameters was   on increasing an athlete’s VO2 max – the maximal amount of oxygen that an individual can use. However, it was only in 2016 that CO2 tolerance and the benefits of CO2 became apparent. - Why is CO2 good for you? Carbon dioxide shouldn't be harmful; the amount of it is. Very much like lactate acid, it is needed for the body, but an excess can be detrimental. The way that the body detects the amount of CO2 is vital for the respiratory system to work. Levels of CO2 will inform the brain that there is a need to breathe in more air. By using different breathing techniques when training and breath-hold techniques, we can increase tolerance to CO2. COach Basti goes over a few of these points during the next 2 episodes. For more information about our products , please check www.goprimal.eu
