I was in a meeting a while back reviewing candidates for a specific position we noticed that âcisgenderâ was an option on the application form. I personally knew one of the applicants and hadnât heard the term cisgender before so I was immediately thinkingâ¦ Iâve never heard her describe herself as that.
Best Answer: Can hold the breath longer with complete inspiration because the lungs will hold oxygenated air and will continue to exchange with blood (give oxygen and take CO2) while you are holding your breath. Hence you can last longer.
But when you exhale and hold it, your body is left with almost no oxygen. And I guess this is also the reason why the gasp after we are done holding our breath is louder and more intense in the latter case than the former. P.S1: I had to conduct the experiment thrice. P.S2: This was a seemingly right logic.
