The spleen is an organ which acts as blood bank. When the body signals an increased demand for oxygen the spleen releases stores of blood cells into circulation. The Oxygen Advantage program involves breath holding to reduce blood oxygen saturation causing the spleen to contract. This improves the bodies ability to deliver oxygen to working muscles during exercise.
