Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which hyperventilation affects the nervous controls over breathing.
Introduction: Hyperventilation is the condition appears due to over breathing. Hyperventilation leads to decrease in carbon dioxide and increase in pH. Hyperventilation may lead to respiratory alkalosis or hypocapnia.

While they can indeed hold their breaths longer, it is not for the reason they think. Furthermore, some have lost consciousness and drowned because of this practice.
