In this segment, Wim Hof defines endurance as the ability of muscles to perform, emphasizing that performance hinges on neurotransmitter activity within muscle tissue. He argues that optimal neurotransmitter function requires an alkaline chemical environment, which can be achieved through specific breathing techniques—namely, breath holds or post‑exhalation holds. By making the body alkaline before exertion, the speaker claims that muscle tissue works more efficiently, thereby enhancing endurance.
