Freediving Q&A webinar Aug 13, 2013

Webinar about stress breath hold and questions with Aharon Solomons from www.freedivers.net
- pregnancy and freediving. personal experience
- MT Solomons training. Weight loss and periods. After checking it was determined - she was pregnant
- was embrion hypoxic and would it suffer brain damage? Info research.
- to check it was recommended to do an ultrasound weekly to analyze development
- Ama divers were diving up to 8th month of pregnancy. Though ama are diving 25 mt max
- she also done an X-Ray during pregnancy, though she should not
- though the child is extremely sportish and challenging
- seems that bloodshift also favours the foetus in positive way, supplying more oxygen
- talking about superb dry exercises we do for superb breath hold (breathwalk)
- what is my immediate objective?
- explanation of dive plan drawing with numbers, depth explanation, buoyancy and glide stages
- meters for kicking and non-moving (gliding). summarized and transferred into seconds: 1mt ~ 1sec
- kicking would transfer in to walking on full lungs breath hold
- glide would summarise in to static before starting to walk
- do 3 repetitions. with 2, 2 and 3 minutes ventilation before.
- check distance you did and measure time it took you to walk there
- normal is 1 double pace per second
- check pulse 4 times: after vent; in the end of STA; in the end of walk; max pulse during recovery
- pulse numbers will describe your performance
- tachycardia and bradycardia explanation and meaning.
- different graphs for diff people. It should not change a lot during training - but you should know it
- getting bloodshift at land and measuring pulse with chest straps pulse meters
- this seems to be the optimal model to go with
- same scheme with RV, but without hold before walk
- empty lung training and adaptation
- before empty lungs - little breath. just little bit more than tidal volume. then just exhale completely
- lime juice might help, but very mild
