Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2023 Distance running requires a high absolute oxygen consumption, while for a breath-hold diver the opposite is preferable. We compared physiological exercise parameters and mitochondrial function in a competitive triathlete with those seen in an accomplished breath-hold diver and notice some remarkable differences, possibly explaining why both have become
