Obese people need oxygen. Skinny people need carbon dioxide.
Excess energy is stored as carbon. Through Indirect calorimetry testing, metabolism is measured via Co2 production.
Most people here are trying to lose weight.
It's not about Co2 retention. It's about oxidation. And by this I mean, of course that hyperventilating does not help. But there is a difference between 3 breathing techniques.
1 being bag breathing - Co2 re circulation/re absorption, Hypercapnia. I find this state being conducive to a hibernating state, yes it may be relaxed, but it is not associated with mental acuity, reproduction, or increasing metabolism. People that also retain carbon dioxide are shallow breathers, very shallow inhales and exhales. This method allows for increased oxygen uptake the following breaths.
2 being an empty breath hold. There is no oxygen in the lungs, so this allows Co2 build up.
3 being a full breath hold, where you inhale and hold it. Allowing a huge exchange to take place between oxygen and carbon dioxide. And then you can go into an empty breath hold.
So with a quick google search, of 'does holding in air increase oxygen' this is the result
"Inhaling a lungful of air and then holding your breath is uncomfortable because levels of carbon dioxide in your blood increase – but oxygen levels in your blood don't actually drop significantly."
So this supports my theory of this large exchange happening with holding deep breaths. And honestly it's very difficult you can get light headed and feel warm very fast. empty /shallow breath holds are easier to do, but this effect is not the same. Bag breathing is not the same, as someone can just go back to lower oxidative breathing patterns.
Now I know by reading all this you are thinking Wim Hoff, sure, but his breathing rhythms are far too fast, and too long, where people are literally experiencing hallucinations induced via hypoxia- asphyxiation.
So by going with a far slower tempo, and not hyperventilating, with just long paused full breath holds with several fast medium breaths in between to counteract the co2 buildup. This would be a better method.
Ideally swimming or walking, with breath holds something that increases heart rate will allow an even greater exchange of oxidation circulating more blood to the lungs.
