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.
In short, the reason you can hold your breath longer when you hyperventilate isnât because of an increase in oxygen, but because of a decrease in CO2. Besides reducing the amount of CO2 in your system, hyperventilating actually reduces the amount of oxygen available to your muscles and organs.
