Static apnea is a discipline in freediving where an individual holds their breath while remaining still, typically underwater. The goal is to maximize the duration of breath-holding without any movement, allowing the body to conserve oxygen. This practice is often used in competitive settings, where divers aim to achieve personal or world records. During static apnea, divers rely on relaxation techniques to lower their heart rate and reduce oxygen consumption. Safety is crucial, as the risk of shallow water blackout increases with longer breath-holding times. Proper training and supervision are essential for anyone attempting static apnea, especially in competitive environments.
