PURPOSE: The study investigated the changes in cardiovascular and cerebral hemodynamics elicited by the diving response during static (S METHODS: Nineteen BHDs (42.9 ± 7.8 years, 5.7 ± 2.5 years of breath-hold practice) participated in the study. Cardiovascular and cerebral hemodynamics, along with muscle and pre-frontal cortex oxygenation, were continuously tracked throughout a single S RESULTS: At the end of BH, the manifestations of the diving response were similar in both conditions, characterized by a bradycardic response (S CONCLUSION: Due to relatively attenuated increase in cerebral blood velocity, DYN
