sharkysa Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Is this just another gimmick or will it change my performance? Need something to keep interested over the long winter....
milky4130 Posted April 22, 2014 Posted April 22, 2014 Where are you planning on doing this? I've also considered this but not sure of its benefits although there have been studies done to prove its benefits.
rouxtjie Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Must be something to it....seems like its another flavour of high altitude training...where would you get the equipment though
'Dale Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Yes, it assists.Sports science says so. But it's a weird kinda exercise.I try it in the gym swimming pool whenever I can. Edited April 23, 2014 by ' Dale

Guest EdEdEd Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I dont think its worth that much of trouble!

People will start running if they see me on the road

mr_stig Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I've heard of a swim technique called hypoxic breathing. Basically, you swim lengths in the pool and increase the amount of strokes before taking a breath. ie. breath on 1,3,5,7. Not sure if that's strictly hypoxic, but a swim coach I once met reckons it's a good way to train.
