CO2 Tolerance and How to Train It

What is CO2 Tolerance?
The ability of the body to remain relaxed despite a partial pressure of CO2 that falls outside the tightly controlled normal physiologic values of 35-45mm Hg.
Can it be trained?
Absolutely…both hypercapnea and hypocapnea can be trained through daily commitment to training. Increasing resting levels of CO2 has been shown to have positive effects by reducing anxiety and tension, while also improving performance at high intensity.
How can we increase our CO2 tolérance?
There are many breathing techniques to improve CO2 tolerance. Box Breathing, Breath Counting, Breath Holding at rest and during exercise, are all simple and easy ways to improve CO2 tolerance.
Are there any potential downsides to increasing our CO2 tolérance?
There are medical conditions, like COPD and asthma that can lead to elevated resting CO2 levels, and are associated with chronic disease states and dysfunction. In healthy people, with good control of respiratory patterns, there is no identified downside of improving CO2 tolerance. Training should ALWAYS be done in strictly safe environments, and not under any conditions that could be harmful. Performing prolonged breath holds under water has led to numerous accounts of accidental drowning and should only be done with strict supervision by experienced athletes.
WHAT IS VO2 MASTER?
The VO2 Master Analyzer is the ultimate portable metabolic analyzer. At a weight of 200 grams, the VO2 Master Analyzer provides the best field testing equipment currently available. No tubes, cables or backpacks needed. Testing data is streamed directly to our free mobile app where it can be viewed in real time. Additionally, the app will draw data from a wide variety of other physiologic testing equipment, including HR monitors, Power Meters and Moxy monitors as examples. Test VO2 Max, estimate resting metabolic rate, determine training zones, examine breathing coordination and more. The possibilities for physiologic testing are now endless.
