  • Monofins for Freediving
    Monofins for Freediving We have been intermittently following the debate concerning the use of the monofin in freediving and would like to share some of our findings. Two years ago we put together the first experimental monofin/freedive clinic where we assembled some unique elements. We put together the leading trainers in monofin swimming, namely the Russian coaches from Tomsk university, who train both the Russian national team and their chief rivals, the Chinese, the leading specialist monofin manufacturer belonging to the same school and a group of freedivers which represented the best cross-section, from the very top of freediving competition to the very novice. This same group also represented advanced freedivers who already had experience with the monofin, advanced freedivers who had never used a monofin and a novice freediver with no experience of the monofin. Although the number of freedivers involved was small we feel that with a larger group the conclusions would have been much the same. The objectives were to find (i) What style and why? (ii) What rhythm and amplitude of movement? (iii) What kind of monofin and what stiffness of blade and if this was individual what the relevant criteria for monofin choice should be? (iv) What compromises and adaptations had to be made to suit the specific needs of the freediver? (v) What was the best training method for the monofin freediver. What style and why? We had heard a lot of talk concerning adaptations of the ‘classic ’style that freedivers should adopt. I know from personal acquaintance that some of the people recommending various adaptations were not capable of demonstrating a good classic style hence their recommendations were from lack of ability in the monofin and hence lack of choice through limited ability.

Breathing techniques allow increasing the volume of the inhaled air and thus prolong the breath-hold time at rest and during physical effort. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of breath-hold on adaptations of the respiratory and circulatory systems and cardiopulmonary-respiratory reactions at rest and during physical effort in persons practising freediving. Material and methods: ‪The study involved 17 athletes practising breath-hold diving, at the mean age of 38.4 ±8.4 years. Spirometry tests to evaluate static and dynamic lung indicators were conducted. The heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation (SpO2), and the apnoea time in three breath-hold trials were measured: static dry STA-D, static with face immersed in water STA-I and dynamic (DYN-D).

  • Changes in Respiratory Parameters and Fin-Swimming Performance Following a 16-Week Training Period with Intermittent Breath Holding
    Journal of Human Kinetics volume 49/2015, 89-98 DOI: 10.1515/hukin-2015-0111 89 Section II- Exercise Physiology & Sports Medicine Changes in Respiratory Parameters and Fin-Swimming Performance Following a 16-Week Training Period with Intermittent Breath Holding by Vasileios Stavrou1,3 , Argyris G. Toubekis2 , Eleni Karetsi3 The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of training with intermittent breath holding (IBH) on respiratory parameters, arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) and performance. Twenty-eight fin-swimming athletes were randomly divided into two groups and followed the same training for 16 weeks. About 40% of the distance of each session was performed with self-selected breathing frequency (SBF group) or IBH (IBH group). Performance time of 50 and 400 m at maximum intensity was recorded and forced expired volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), peak expiratory flow (PEF) and SpO2 were measured before and after the 50 m test at baseline and post-training. Post- training, the respiratory parameters were increased in the IBH but remained unchanged in the SBF group (FEV1: 17 ±15% vs. -1 ±11%; FVC: 22 ±13% vs. 1 ±10%; PEF: 9 ±14% vs. -4 ±15%; p<0.05). Pre compared to post-training SpO2 was unchanged at baseline and decreased post-training following the 50 m test in both groups (p<0.05). The reduction was higher in the IBH compared to the SBF group (p<0.05). Performance in the 50 and 400 m tests improved in both groups, however, the improvement was greater in the IBH compared to the SBF group in both 50 and 400 m tests (p<0.05).
