Town Gp., Vanness Jm., 1990, Metabolic responses to controlled
frequency of breathing in competitive swimmers.
The researchers assessed the
frequency of breathing disturbances, the time spent in each sleep state, the number of nighttime awakenings, and the duration of sleep.
In the study, the CPAP mask was attached to equipment that measured the
frequency of breathing and the depth of breathing.
Results: Five factors grouped different attributes of dyspnea: urge to breathe, depth and
frequency of breathing, difficulty breathing and phase of respiration, wheezing, and affective dyspnea.
Mr John Mackisack, a trainee Buteyko therapist and spokesman for the Oakfield Clinic in Birmingham said many asthma sufferers breathed excessively and the Buteyko method tried to reduce the volume and
frequency of breathing.
