Research

Besides writing for the site, Rik Rösken is also performing research on freediving from his background as a medical student

Some of the research shall also be presented here after publication, but other research, as from within the trainings group, shall be reported on this site.
Current topics that are researched are:
- Nitrogen build up in freedivers
- Equalization technique
- Overtraining in Freediving
- Cardiovascular adaption to depth

Nitrogen build up in freedivers

The research is performed, however a article will probably not be written. The experience from this research is however worthwhile enough.

Equalization technique

For many divers, both SCUBA-divers as Freedivers, equalization is often a challenge. This scientific research shall deal with this specific problem. The research is in its preparing phase.

Overtraining in Freediving

A pattern of complaints with several freedivers did seemed to express an pattern. This leaded to writing an hypothesis at the start 2004, which was examined in a thesis of a student gymnastics. There is still enough room for more research in this area.

Cardiovasculair adaptation on depth

This research is still in its study phase.
