Abstract
Introduction: Elite endurance runners often demonstrate lower VE and higher PETCO2 than normal during exercise testing, indicative of diminished sensitivity to CO2. This is thought to be advantageous since the ventilatory work can be reduced during the race, with the rate of aerobic energy supply potentially increased due to the concomitant hypercapnia. If such a breathing pattern (hypoventilation) is voluntarily mimicked during endurance training, trainees may adapt to hypercapnia, the mimicked breathing volume may become natural, and their endurance performance may improve more than after a normal breathing training.
