Roger, TS.
Thank you for sharing the info, x_SF_med. I should have realized this if I had put my A&P and athletic training material to practice. Diamond push-ups in progress for punishment.
This may be laughable and an example of transition from hard ass to dumb ass, but I practice holding breath for the following reasons:
- Something I've done since I was small. It's as if I'm testing how strong the power of the will to overcome the nature (the point where you expand/contract the lung w/o air exchange). In a way....training the mind  ?
- No scientific base for this one but personal experience, so placebo could be a factor. The higher my tolerance to discomfort induced by lack of air/O2, the longer my natural respiratory pause. That had greatly helped me in HP prone rapid fire w/ whole belly & chest touching the ground.
- I was hoping/believing it would help my underwater swimming.
