The following physiological benefits have been proven to occur as a result of hypoxia treatment:

• Decreased Resting Heart Rate (RHR)
• Decreased Blood Pressure (BP)
• Increased Erythropoietin (EPO)
• Increased Production of Maximal Oxygen Consumption (VO2 Max)
• Increased Lactate Threshold
• Increased Mitochondrial Production
• Increased Fat Metabolism

Being in a hypoxic environment; It will potentially help you go faster and further, tire later, react faster, think sharper, feel stronger and more focused.

Most of the world's longest-living civilizations lived at altitudes higher than 3000 m. This relationship between altitude and health is no coincidence, and researchers are beginning to uncover the science behind this mystery. The low incidence of many chronic diseases in people who live permanently at high altitudes in the last 20 years is also associated with high altitude by modern medicine.

The combination of all the positive physiological effects associated with altitude training provides an intense feeling of rejuvenation, both mentally and physically. Each session you perform will revitalise and make you feel energetic and happy for the rest of the day.

Altitude Training and Weight Loss

A study on the effect of high altitude and weight loss concluded that people living at sea level are 4 to 5 times more likely to be obese than those living in high altitude communities. The altitude weight loss effect is the result of an accelerated metabolic rate and more calories burned for the increased energy needs required to adapt to the altitude environment. With the adaptation to altitude conditions, leptin (satiety hormone) levels increase in the body, while ghrelin (hunger hormone) remains the same. After intense exercise, the accelerated metabolic rate and increased calorie burning and the feeling of satiety become permanent. These effects fulfill the most favorable conditions in the human body for accelerated weight loss.

Altitude for Asthma Patients

Bronchial Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease of unknown cause. Even if there is no consensus as to the cause of asthma, there are ways to control the symptoms of this chronic disease.

As a result of rapid breathing (hyperventilation) in asthma patients, blood CO2 levels are lower than normal. However, rapid breathing also triggers chronic bronchial inflammation in patients. Therefore, the key to successful treatment is reducing hyperventilation and improving oxygen use.

As a complementary treatment for asthma, high altitude treatment provides significant benefits over traditional symptomatic treatments. Patients are less affected by diseases negative side effects such as increased blood pressure, osteoporosis and weight gain. Asthma attacks are prevented before they occur, thus reducing asthma-related lung damage in patients. Thanks to a customized IHT program for each patient, patients with bronchial asthma see the following benefits:

• positively affected immune state
• reduction of asthma attacks and chronic bronchial inflammation
• enhanced enzymatic anti-oxidative defense
• Forced Vital Capacity (FVC)
• Forced Expiratory Velocity (FEV)
• Reduction/cessation of other disease symptoms triggered by asthma.
• Decreased feeling of tiredness
• Feeling more vigorous and increase in life quality.
