“…Several researchers tried to take the advantage of physiological adaptations associated with hypercapnia and hypoxia. The most common way to induce hypercapnia and hypoxia described in literature is hypoventilation and reduced breathing frequency (RBF (14,18,20). Moreover, Kapus et al also reported the effects of RBF training in swimmers.…”

“…RBF training can be done either at low or high lung volumes with RBF at high lung volume being more similar to H-H training. Studies indicate that RBF training at high lung volumes can increase tidal volume during incremental exercise and decrease the ventilatory response to exercise induced hypercapnia (14,18,20). Moreover, Kapus et al also reported the effects of RBF training in swimmers.…”

The aim of this resent study was to determine the effects of an 8-week hypercapnic-hypoxic (H-H or apnea) training program on respiratory muscles strength and 100 meter crawl swimming performance. The study was conducted on a sample of 26 Croatian elite swimmers (experimental group [EG] n=12, control group [CG] n=14). Both groups were subjected to the same swimming training programs and training sessions on a treadmill. The experimental group was additionally subjected to hypercapnic-hypoxic training program with increased muscular activity. Date on the following outcome variables were collected: the strength of respiratory muscles (maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP)), 100m front crawl swimming time (R100m) and breathing frequency during the same test (BF100m). A series of two way repeated measures ANOVAs has shown significant interactions between group (EG and CG) and the repeated-measure factor (pre-and post-test) (MIP: p = 0.006, MEP: p < 0.001, R100m, p < 0.001, FB100m, p < 0.001), all showing greater efficacy of the experimental program. It seems that the hypercapnic-hypoxic training program may provide substantial benefits for elite swimmers, in addition to their standard training sessions.
