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.
This means that holding your breath might actually reduce your heart rate, as the relaxed muscles no longer need a lot of oxygen, and your CO2 levels are low. After holding your breath for a while though, oxygen will run low in your blood, CO2 will be increased, and once again the urge to breathe will be very large.
