CALORIE BURN

Altitude sessions burn up to 25% more calories. Studies have also shown decreases in body mass and a reduction in body fat percentage.

MUSCULAR ENDURANCE

As you adapt to the altitude environment, your tolerance to the anaerobic component of intense physical exercise improves. Studies have shown positive outcomes for muscular endurance and repeat sprint ability.

STRENGTH GAINS

Strength training in simulated altitude or hypoxic conditions stimulates muscle growth and leads to a higher tolerance of intense physical exercise. To maximise muscle growth (hypertrophy) add 3 sessions of resistance training and target specific muscle groups. Monitoring your blood oxygen saturation between each set and increasing recovery time is essential.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

We all know that both exercise and an appropriate eating plan is essential to reaching your target weight. Altitude training accelerates the positive outcomes of exercise including fat loss and increased metabolism. Adding just 3 sessions of light to moderate exercise at altitude per week to your fitness regime will have a positive impact.

CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

Adaptation to hypoxia through simulated altitude training offers a major benefit to aerobic condition and cardiovascular health, this results in improved oxygen delivery and utilisation without increasing the muscular skeletal load or exercise time. This makes altitude training the single most effective, efficient and simplest way to legally improve your aerobic condition.
