Everywhere I search, everywhere I fucking look, when I try to look up ways to improve lung efficiency, every single page is about lung capacity.
I'm looking for ways to improve the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, specifically, not to increase capacity. Does anybody have any sources for that?
>I'm looking for ways to improve the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, specifically, not to increase capacity. How dense are you?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmhhhhhh did you ever do a biology class?

Capacity = amount of air that lungs can take in and process
Efficiency = exchange rate of oxygen/carbon dioxide through the alveoli
Chase Price
Efficiency of oxygen absorption into the blood is mainly determined by the relative percentages of oxygen in the blood and the alveoli. Basically the more oxygen in your blood, the harder it becomes for oxygen to enter the blood.
Jackson Mitchell
Wow
Luis Ross
and...do you know what are the standard values for those?
Adam Wilson
The classical way is to train in low oxygen environments, like a mountain. Not sure how to simulate that effect without having a mountain handy, however.

Logan Murphy
there are low oxi masks, but apparently they are useless unless you keep them on all day and night anyway all it does is improving the quantity of Hb in blood cells and mioglobine in muscle cells, lungs are unaffected
Ethan Richardson
Thats not possible, the exchange of gases in the lungs doesn't work that way.
James Lewis
Yeah it does, it's called diffusing capacity, and is also affected by how much blood can actually be pumped through the lungs.
Volume of blood + rate of diffusion = lung efficiency
Raw volume of air intake = lung capacity
Yes, exactly.
Isaiah Perry
They don't do anything. You can only stimulate further RBC production/erythropoiesis in hypoxic air. Or blood doping.
Parker Roberts
if you dont have health issues like asthma there's no real limiting factor in o2 diffusion beside the blood flow from heart. best you can do is to do more deep breaths instead of many shallow ones, since you will save up the air from the dead space (the one in trachea and lungs that isnt doing any gas exchange) yeah that's what i heard. only know one guy using it, his stamina is unreal but not necessary related
Xavier Anderson
Hold your breath, or do repeated exercise taking as few breaths as possible.
I'm a kendo practitioner and it's a standard exercise to do, say, 10-15 cuts in one breath. Friend of mine does kendo and is a smoker; it pisses his doctor off because his blood oxygen levels are higher than the average non-smoker.
Lincoln Wilson
Then in that case you have to improve the pumping capacity of the right ventricle, which as far as I know, you can't do in such a way it would be beneficial. Therefore, by doing cardio, you can increase the volume of the LV and increase stroke volume and have more blood being pumped to the muscles, which is better oxygen delivery capacity. If you want to "improve" efficiency and make gas exchange faster, you're going to have to change the solubility coefficient of O2 or its partial pressure to create a larger gradient between your body and the environment. Why are you being so autistic?
Jaxson Parker
It's for a specific exercise where breathing rate is key, increasing capacity doesn't help much so the only option is to improve processing efficiency.
Do you hold your breath while doing the exercise, or just take in as little as you can while still breathing normally?
Juan Ramirez
low air volumen =! low levels of oxy
Drugs probably. Drugs to increase the hemo-good gainz-goblins. And for that you can easily bump up the hemo iron levels in your blood by eating liver. Drugs to increase the hemogobling count? idk, probably whatever stuff that armstrong guy was taking.
Oliver Watson
the % of o2 in air stays stable anyway. you could achieve the same result by breathing less
David Nguyen
god damn so many retards in this thread... Look up how to improve V02 Max. its what you are looking for. and if you complain about the methods, you arent gonna make it bitch.
Kevin Murphy
>What is mountain sickness?
Dam there are some dumb fucks today.
Jacob Wright
>op is a wizard who ask for something pretty specific >hurrrrr let me disregard whatever the wizard asked >durrrr do this and if you dont you suck
Are you gettin enough O2 in your brain muh man?
Nolan Jackson
>modifying volume is same as modifying pressure ok
Matthew Cook
>density of air >2017 somehow still uses preassure to state something in his wrong ways.

Lung efficiency can't really be improved too much if I remember correctly. It's genetics, look at the people of the Himalayas and Andes, they adapted over a period of time and don't get mountain sisckness as much compared to others. Lung capacity can be increased by cardio
Isaiah Barnes
Exactly, and lungs that adapt to this can process more oxygen from the same amount of air due to them being used to lower saturation.
Its retarded. Retard masks, dont work. Thing is you need to inhale the most volume your lungs can handle and your body should adapt to the less dense atmosphere. Not breathing less you sick erotic suffocation degenerates.
