Hold your breath for splenic contraction - improve your oxygen carrying capacity.

The spleen is an organ which acts as blood bank. When the body signals an increased demand for oxygen - the spleen releases stores of blood cells into circulation. The Oxygen Advantage program involves breath holding to reduce blood oxygen saturation- causing the spleen to contract. This improves the bodies ability to deliver oxygen to working muscles during exercise.
