Introduction

The breaking point of respiration is when an individual can no longer hold his breath at his will. At this point, breathing will start spontaneously.

The average value is 44 to 55 seconds.

The world record for breath holding is 24 minutes and 37 seconds. Budimir Sobat created this record.

Control of respiration occurs by

Voluntarily and

Involuntary methods.

We can voluntarily control our breathing for a few minutes by increasing or decreasing our respiratory rate, increasing or decreasing our depth of respiration, or even stopping our breathing for a few minutes.

Involuntary control exerts the central power of respiration. We are not aware of our breathing unless it is disturbed.

Pathophysiology of the breaking point

When an individual stops breathing, two changes co-occur-

1. Carbon dioxide retention and 2.Oxygen depletion in the body.

Both are potent stimulants of respiration, but Carbon dioxide is potent.

An increased concentration of carbon dioxide, not a lack of oxygen, causes respiration to reach its breaking point.

The breaking point is an indicator of breath-holding capacity. If the breaking point is higher, the breath-holding capacity is higher.

Breath-holding capacity is crucial for improving lung capacity and overall breathing efficiency. Everyone should improve their lung capacity. It is lifesaving and enhances quality of life and endurance.

Breath-holding capacity is a game-changer for athletes, divers, swimmers, and runners.

You can improve your breath-holding capacity. Simple, inexpensive, yet effective methods can increase your breaking point. Broadly, methods are grouped into the following categories

1. Breathing techniques

2. Physical changes and

3. Mental training.

Breathing techniques

1. Carbon dioxide tolerance can be improved through breath-holding exercises. Some effective methods include-

Carbon dioxide tables

Oxygen tables

Box breathing.

Diaphragmatic and deep breathing strengthen respiratory muscles and increase lung capacity-

Pursed-lip breathing

Belly breathing.

Please share your own breathing experiences.

Physical changes-

A substantial body and cardiovascular system support improved respiratory endurance. Actions that help are

Aerobic exercises like running, swimming

Strength training exercises

High-intensity interval training

Mental factors

Mental training, meditations, and mindfulness reduce stress and anxiety

Progressive muscle relaxation

Visualization

Strong willpower.

Improve lung function and oxygen utilization.

Intermittent hypoxic training

Respiratory muscle training

Miscellaneous

Proper hydration and nutrition

Improving the breaking point of respiration requires a combination of many factors and techniques.

You must practice in a safe, supervised environment.
