Breath Holding by Athletes- The Oxygen Advantage

World-renowned Brazilian track coach Luiz De Oliveira used breath hold training with Olympic athletes Joaquim Cruz and Mary Decker, who set six world records in 800-metre to one-mi...le distance running events.

De Oliveira used breath holding methods to train Cruz. The goal was to enable the athlete to maintain form at the end of an anaerobic race of 400-800m. Another aspect was to improve psychological preparedness by allowing the athletes to maintain composure during an oxygen-deprived state. One final factor was to train the runner not to pay attention to their breathing, but instead to focus on tactical maneuvers and running form. De Oliveira’s techniques were a case of getting results first and figuring out the science later, but his theories certainly proved to be right.
