And the reason that we think that that's a training adaptation rather than a genetic adaptation was that it was only true in the divers. So non-divers with the same genetics... didn't have this phenomenon. So that was, I mean, that has, you know, it's interesting to think about how, what the potential health benefits of that could be. I mean, it's clearly something that you can train.

This has also been observed in other competitive breath hold divers.

This has also been observed in other competitive breath hold divers. But in terms of how that could benefit your health, I mean, maybe it's good for your heart to have that kind of plasticity in terms of its response.

Right, yeah.

Right, yeah.

Right, yeah.

Right, yeah.

Yeah. And so then we also found this genetic adaptation that we think is driven by the fact that they're diving through pregnancy. So when pregnant women have sleep apnea, which is where you hold your breath in your sleep, so it's kind of you can think of it as unintentional diving through pregnancy. they tend to develop these blood pressure related complications.
