What is Altitude Training?
Welcome, oxygen enthusiasts and thrill-seekers alike, to the exhilarating world of Altitude Training! Get ready to push your limits, defy gravity and dive into the fascinating realm where every breath counts.
Altitude Training (also known as Intermittent Hypoxic Training) is a technique that involves exposing the body to alternating patterns of low-oxygen (hypoxic) and normal-oxygen (normoxic) air as well as high oxygen levels (hyperoxia). This cycling of oxygen levels prompts the body to adapt in various ways, such as increasing the production of blood cells and improving oxygen utilisation efficiency.
Our Altitude Training machine does not require any additional exercise during your session, allowing those of any physical state to participate in our training. During your session, you remain stationary in one of our comfortable Get A Drip chairs with a mask over your nose and mouth and will continue breathing as normal. We do not offer Altitude training with additional exercise/equipment allowing anyone to train with us!
Who can benefit from Altitude Training?
Mountaineers
People who are gearing up for treks or climbs in high-altitude regions might employ the help of IHT as a preparatory measure to adapt their bodies to lower oxygen levels.
Sportspersons
Athletes enjoy participating in Altitude Training as it helps them boost their endurance and performance. People committed to their fitness objectives and journey, might discover all of the Altitude Training advantages. Over time, your body becomes significantly more efficient in using oxygen effectively. Think of it as training a specific muscle, the more you work it over time, the stronger the muscle gets.
Senior citizens
Altitude Training may help seniors improve their respiratory function, making breathing easier and more efficient. This can be particularly beneficial for those with respiratory conditions such as COPD or asthma. Altitude training can also boost endurance levels and energy levels allowing seniors to engage in physical activities for longer periods without fatigue.
Rehabilitation patients
Some research indicates that IHT could offer therapeutic advantages for specific medical conditions like cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and metabolic disorders.
