Oxygen Efficiency and Freediving: Cellular Adaptations in Elite Breath-Hold Divers
Freediving, the art of diving underwater on a single breath without the use of breathing apparatus, has fascinated scientists for decades. Elite freedivers can hold their breath for extraordinary periods???some exceeding 11 minutes???and reach depths beyond 100 meters. These feats raise intriguing questions about human physiology and adaptation.
Recent research has begun to unravel the remarkable physiological changes that occur in elite freedivers, particularly at the cellular level. This article explores the fascinating adaptations that allow freedivers to push the boundaries of human capability.
