yeeeeeeah.... contractions?

if you are training for hockey and you're getting contractions can i suggest that might be cross training that could be better spent working on aerobic fitness, rather than doing something that will make your body forcefully and painfully alert you to the fact that you need breath.

after all, in this sport 10 seconds on the bottom in a hard game is a long time and 25 seconds is a LONG LONG time. someone who can hold their breath for only 1.5 mins max is easily capable when fit to sit on the bottom for 25 seconds when static in a game or 15 seconds when working hard... personally i think training to hold your breath longer is pointless.

i met a turkish freediver a few months ago. great guy, he won the jump bleu comp in bari with a world record of some sort.

friend of mine used to train with him and is good mates with him, told me that often if you ask the guy a question, he won't respond, but then 10 mins later will turn around and answer you. his mates all agree the amount of training and time he has spent with nix oxygen has affected him dramatically.

careful with that training!
