Cardiac hypoxic resistance and decreasing lactate during maximum apnea in elite breath hold divers
Abstract Breath-hold divers (BHD) enduring apnea for more than 4 min are characterized by resistance to release of reactive oxygen species, reduced sensitivity to hypoxia, and low mitochondrial oxygen consumption in their skeletal muscles similar to northern elephant seals. The muscles and myocardiu...
