How did Winslet do it then? And if you were to try this, why is it that you (probably) couldn’t come close to seven minutes, even after a few weeks of training? You would need to do what Winslet likely did, and that is pre-breathe with 100 per cent oxygen before holding your breath. These are people who have trained for many years, and are the top professional apneists (apnea means temporarily stopped breathing). For women it is 9:02 minutes, held by Natalia Molchanova. The world record for a non-oxygen-assisted breath hold is 11:35 minutes* by Stéphane Mifsud. Keep in mind the ratio of oxygen that we normally breathe in the atmosphere is 21 per cent.Īctor Kate Winslet reacts after holding her breath for over seven minutes. In respect to the breath hold of almost 25 minutes by Šobat, it was accomplished by pre-breathing 100 per cent oxygen prior to holding the breath. One thing is certain: oxygen is important. I and other researchers have performed extensive physiologic measures on these professional divers to figure out how they can hold their breath for so long. This is held by Budimir Šobat - a professional breath hold diver with whom I have worked closely. The current world record for breath holding, using a technique that is likely the same one the actor employed, is 24 minutes and 37 seconds. While Winslet now holds the record for a breath hold on a movie set, let’s put it in wider context. Winslet apparently trained only for a few weeks. Most professional freedivers must train for years before reaching a number like that - many never achieve it. It’s a remarkable feat anyone (including professional freedivers) would acknowledge that a breath hold over seven minutes is extremely difficult. Some of the movie’s scenes were filmed underwater. Kate Winslet reportedly held her breath for seven minutes and 15 seconds on set for Avatar: The Way of Water.
