Effects of Static Apnea at High Lung Volume on Hypoalgesia, Cardiovascular Function and Respiratory Function

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to explore the hypoalgesic response of a 6 minutes of intermittent static apneas training session at high lung volume in healthy subjects; also, as secondary objectives, to analyze the cardiovascular and respiratory response produced during the intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Asymptomatic subjects aged between 18 and 64 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cardiovascular, respiratory, metabolic, neurological or osteomuscular signs or pathologies.
• History of epilepsy.
• Pregnant.
• Pharmacological treatment.
