Collecting Info - Scientific Evidence of Wim Hof (and other) Breathing Exercise. Help pls :)

[justb612]

Hey Nexus!

I'm looking to collect all the information about breathing exercises, especially when you breathe more than you normally would.

I'm looking for scientific literature here, and I'm also looking at possibly Human models and not animals, also preferably mechanistic explanations and not correlational data.


As an Extra, I can not find the scientific evidence backing up this article ( Wim Hof Method – Biology of Breathing – Daniel Timms ) , but the claims seem to be insane honestly. If anyone has them or finds them, please post it here.

Thank you very much.

Anecdotal, not scientific, but my friend had a Wim Hof phase this winter while we started an amateur outdoor boxing gym. This man would walk 5km in -15° with wind wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. He hoped cold showers and the breathing exercises would negate the cold.

He was always curled up into a ball trying to stay warm for the first hour of our meets, hahaha

I really want to believe it's true but it's just so bizarre. Also interested in scientific studies.

Stan Grof's research is pretty cool stuff.
