Oxygen is the limiting factor in sports performance. When insufficient oxygen is delivered to the muscles fatigue sets in.

Hypoxic Training improves oxygen delivery and utilization at all levels. In a double-blind placebo controlled study presented at the European College of Sports Science in 2004, German researchers presented some remarkable findings. Highly trained athletes demonstrate astounding 40% anaerobic performance boost (forearm exercise until exhaustion), and 20% aerobic performance increase (cycling until exhaustion).

The benefits of Hypoxic Training include:

      • Increased V02 max (max rate of oxygen usage)
      • Enhanced power output and speed
      • Improved strength and endurance
      • Increased exercise-till-exhaustion (ETE) time
      • Reduced recovery time after exertion
      • Decreased resting heart-rate and blood pressure
      • Diminished overall fatigue
