Intermittent Hypoxic Training

Hypoxico’s Intermittent Hypoxic Training system (also known as IHT) enables athletes -injured or healthy-, to enhance their performance. It's also used to help athletes and other health-concious individuals increase their fitness while suffering from injuries, as well as with pre-acclimatization to high altitudes. 

IHT involves short intermittent inhalations in bursts of about 3 to 5 minutes of hypoxic air. This hypoxic air with 10% O2 simulates altitudes of up to 20,000ft/6000m. These inhalations of hypoxic air are alternated by inhalations of ambient air, in bursts of 2 to 5 minutes.

How does intermittent hypoxia training work?

These hypoxic and hypercapnic cycles (with increased CO2) simulate a natural physiological training mechanism. This training mechanism occurs during mammalian embryonic development to help newborns fight the initial oxidative stress of hyperoxia at birth. By recreating this, an adult's defense against unavoidable oxidative stress can be boosted and provides the same effect. Although it is geared towards wellness, in reality intermittent hypoxic training is a very universal training protocal that will prove to be extremely valuable in any low oxygen training program.

Benefits to Intermittent Hypoxia Training 
  • Prevention and/or alleviation of chronic and degenerative illnesses, such as Alzheimer's, diabetes and cancer
  • Slowing of the aging process
  • Improves overall health, wellness and rejuvenation
