Large Lung Volumes Delay the Onset of the Physiological Breaking Point During Simulated Diving

During breath holding after face immersion there develops an urge to breathe. The point that would initiate the termination of the breath hold, the “physiological breaking point,” is thought to be primarily due to changes in blood gases. However, we theorized that other factors, such as lung volume,...
