Description: BOLT Score (Body Oxygen Level Test)

The BOLT score measures the number of seconds you can comfortably hold your breath after exhalation. Not in a competitive way of how long can you hold, but when the first urge for breathing pops up. Once you feel the urge to breathe, you stop the timer and write down the seconds. 

As you practice breathing slower, you’ll see that the number of seconds and ease of holding will increase. 

In a way it also lets us notice our stress levels. CO2 accumulating is considered a threat to the body because it shifts homeostasis.  The more tolerant we are to it, the greater the ability to shift and adapt without overwhelming our systems. 

A low breath hold time signals some form of breathing dysfunction. With constant practice the number of second and the sensation of holding your breath will shift for the better.
