Hyperventilation during exercise... is stimulated 40% by a rise in carbon dioxide converting into H+ (drop in pH) in the arterial blood, and 60% by a rise in carbon dioxide and H+ in cerebral spinal fluid.

Hyperventilation is triggered 40% by stimulation of the carotid sinus in the aorta in response to low oxygen, high H+ and low pH. When CO2 is converted into acid, H+ increases, and the capacity of hemoglobin to carry oxygen decreases. This is the principle stimulant in the blood stream for hyperventilation.  The cells of the body are put under greater stress with frequent strenuous exercise that triggers hyperventilation; although they adapt to the stress, the metabolism and shape of protein is altered disrupting many metabolic processes. The chemical receptors adapt to low O2, high CO2 and low pH with training, so that hyperventilation is not triggered as quickly as in untrained individuals. However it is now possible to get more out of exercise for both the trained and untrained, Body'Fit pH Fitness is designed to increase the amount of oxygen available in the blood stream prior to training, and will speed post training recovery since, by it's nature, it restores normal alkaline pH balance to the body. It's a revolutionary and highly effective way to increase the efficiency of physical training.

Without Body'Fit pH Fitness movement techniques to match air and blood flow in the lungs, hyperventilation without sufficient activity results in an alkaline pH; and with increased activity beyond the capacity of hyperventilation to meet the demands of metabolism, results in acidosis. When training causes a mis-match between blood flow in the lungs and air flow into the lungs, less oxygen is extracted and less carbon dioxide is excreted. Hyperventilation results compensating by increasing air uptake in the lungs so that blood is fully oxygenated (though breathing 100 percent oxygen will reduce hyperventilation as does the decreasing carbon dioxide being converted to H+).  Body'Fit pH Fitness is a convenient way to minimize all this hard work the lungs must do manage the crisis of ventilation during training.

Huffing and puffing causes turbulent air flow, increasing airway resistance for example, decreases time available for the ventilatory cycle. Decreasing the expiratory time results in some incomplete alveolar emptying. With increasing alveolar volume, the compliance of the lung declines. This results in decreased dynamic compliance. Increases in airway or tissue resistance, rate of breathing, tidal volume and decreased compliance all result in increaed work of breathing. The cost of breathing can be excessive when oxygen delivery to the respiratory muscles in not sufficient to meet their metabolic needs. It can result in reduced respiratory muscle endurance, fatigue and eventual ventilatory failure. Respiratory muscle failure can be caused by several factors including electrolyte abnormalities and insufficient oxygen and nutrient transport to muscle fibers that can lead to actin or muyosin dysfunction similiar to what occurs in the heart during acidosis.

No hyperventilation occurs with Body'Fit pH Fitne4ss regardless of how fast or long the exercise session; the routine is specifically engineered to reduce the work of breathing.
