About the app Apnea Tables
Using this app you can achieve excellent results in breath holding for four or five minutes.
Apnea Tables — this is the app for the training of the breath holding in static air (static apnea) for spearfishers and freedivers.
The app will work automatically. In order to individualize a training you first need to make an attempt with the maximum breath holding. To start take 3-4 warm-up attempts (about half the time of your maximum score). Then hold your breath maximally and save the result of your maximum breath holding. On the basis of this maximum breath holding training tables will be automatically calculated (table CO2 and table O2).
About the tables СO2 and O2
There are 2 basic tables. The table CO2 helps to accustom the brain to the high level of CO2. The table O2 helps to accustom the brain to the lower level of O2.
The table CO2 is a series of static breath holdings with the decrease of the rest time at a constant breath holding time.
The table O2 is a series of static breath holdings with the increase of breath holding time at a constant rest time.
The table CO2 is for beginners, the table O2 is for trained people.
