Application of near-infrared spectroscopy in human elite freedivers while deep diving on a single breath hold
Abstract
Near-infrared spectroscopy was used to observe the cerebral hemodynamic response of freedivers during single breath-hold training dives. We observed variability in hemodynamic progression, and heartbeat shape changes with diving depth.
