Conversation with Eva André, apneist, part of the French Team 🇨🇵 🌊 What metrics do you monitor? What are your target values for peak performance in freediving? 🏊♂️ For an apneist, mastering breath-hold techniques isn't just about skill—it's about understanding your body's rhythms and optimizing them. To conserve oxygen and maximize our breath-hold, the key is to stay relaxed and breathe calmly to lower our heart rate. The slower the heartbeat, the longer we can stay underwater! While I don't rely on specific measurements during a dive, I can feel my heartbeat slow down, and my body naturally enters a state of hibernation. It’s an incredibly soothing experience. Beyond the dives, I closely monitor my sleep stats—a critical component for recovery and ensuring I can dive deep all season long without fatigue. Sleep statistics provide valuable insights into our overall fatigue levels. I know I'm ready for my next dive when my heart rate drops below 55 beats per minute and my heart rate variability averages around 60ms. 🏅 i-Virtual is proud to support Eva in her journey and to help her reach new depths in freediving!

🌟 Happy International Self-Care Day! 🌟 Today, we celebrate the vital role of self-care in maintaining our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In our fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook the importance of taking time for ourselves; prioritizing self-care is essential for preventing burnout and staying healthy, productive, and happy. Self-care is about more than just pampering yourself; it's a crucial part of taking proactive steps to prevent illness and maintain balance. Here are a few simple ways to practice self-care: Take a moment to breathe and relax: Give yourself permission to pause and recharge. Engage in activities that bring you joy: Doing what you love can boost your mood and reduce stress. Stay hydrated and eat nutritious foods: Nourishing your body is a cornerstone of good health. Exercise regularly, even if it's a short walk: Physical activity is a powerful way to improve your mood and energy levels. By making self-care a priority every day, we can prevent stress and illness and lead more fulfilling lives. Encourage those around you to take care of themselves and to become active agents in their own healthcare. How are you taking care of yourself today? 🏃♀️ 🍎 🧘♂️ 📖 World Health Organization #InternationalSelfCareDay #TechForWellness #Mindfulness #PositiveEnergy

Like many competitive sports, freediving causes its share of stress and sometimes anxiety as important deadlines approach. 🌊 Eva shares her breathing exercises with us. 🌊 To dive calmly, I use a few breathing exercises to help me concentrate and maintain a low heart rate.   Snake breathing: This involves exhaling a stream of air through the mouth while limiting the flow with the tongue, for as long as possible. This mimics the sound of a snake and, by significantly extending the exhalation time, provides sensations of absolute relaxation. Square breathing: This involves inhaling while counting to five, holding for five, exhaling for five, and holding again while counting to five. Repeating this exercise for a few minutes has a very clear effect on the heart rate and helps refocus attention.   These exercises help to become aware of your breath and reclaim these unconscious mechanisms! What are your favorite breathing techniques? Let's share and support each other! 💪 #StressManagement #MentalHealth #Freediving #PositiveEnergy
