What Is Altitude Training?
🏔️
Altitude training (hypoxic training) involves training at high altitudes (above 2,000m) with lower oxygen content. This increases red blood cell count and improves oxygen efficiency. It helps control weight and burns more calories as the metabolism works harder in lower oxygen environments.
FAQ
Q1. What are the main components of the IHHT system?
The system includes a host device, a hose, an oxygen mask, and an oximeter.
Q2. How does the treatment work?
You wear a mask and inhale hypoxic air with intervals of hyperoxia air while resting comfortably for 30-50 minutes.
Q3. How many sessions are recommended?
Sessions usually last 30-50 minutes, 2-3 times per week, to allow for proper body adaptation and recovery.
Q4. What does the treatment feel like?
You may feel tired initially, but energy levels, breathing ease, and recovery times typically improve with regular use.
Q5. Is IHHT scientifically backed?
Yes, it is at the forefront of science; notably, the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine related to how cells sense and adapt to oxygen availability.
Q6. What are the health benefits?
IHHT alleviates fatigue from stress, improves cardiovascular performance, enhances metabolism, and boosts the immune system.
