After my appointment as a national freediving and spearfishing instructor, I began a collaboration with Frédéric Lemaître, then a researcher and lecturer at the University of Rouen. We published several articles on the physiology of human apnea, from the pre-immersion ventilation optimization process known as “la carpe” (glossopharyngeal breathing) to the “diving reflex”.
I also published two chapters in a book edited by F. Lemaître, on “training optimization” and the beneficial effects of “yoga and Pranayama”.
