What is Hypoxia? How does High Altitude Affect?

It is known that for the first time in the world, research on high altitude (its effects and first applications) was carried out in the Soviet Union. However, after the Olympics held in Mexico City, the capital of Mexico, in 1968, the subject of training at high altitude was intensively researched and for the first time spread around the world. In this organization, which is located at an altitude of 2240 meters, the findings obtained as a result of dozens of scientific studies after the difficulties experienced by the athletes revealed the benefits of being in altitude conditions. After that, its application in sports has become one of the important topics.

Although high-altitude systems are primarily developed for athletes, they are also used in wellness clubs and other areas. In addition to providing maximum fitness levels in a short time, its benefits have been proven in the treatment of many health problems, including accelerated weight loss, revalidation and acclimatization effects to prevent altitude sickness, and even serious diseases such as COPD.

Today, special high-altitude simulation rooms have become an application used even in the fields of health, sports, regeneration/recovery and military training of special forces soldiers and keeping them ready for operations. The system works by fulfilling the high altitude conditions necessary for the production of erythropoietin, which has a natural doping effect for users or athletes.

How High Altitude Affects the Body

When you go to a certain altitude physically, the amount of oxygen penetrating the lungs decreases due to the effect of decreasing the partial pressure. The body starts to increase the hemoglobin level by producing EPO – Erythropoietin for self-protection. After staying in this environment for a certain period of time, the body acclimatizes to the altitude level (adapting to the environment) and reaches the level of hemoglobin in the blood to a sufficient level, and thus the blood becomes in a state to carry the amount of oxygen needed by the tissues. or when returning to lower altitudes, much more oxygen is carried to the tissues in Accord with the high hemoglobin ratio in the blood.

When returning to normal altitude after the session;

A natural doping effect occurs.

There is an increase in energy level and metabolic rate.

The convalescence period is shortened, and the recovery times after injury are accelerated.

An increase is observed in mental skills, perception and focusing skills.

It is also a unique treatment for many chronic health problems.

At the same time, high altitude systems are a unique treatment for many chronic health problems. It makes it possible to maintain and improve the fitness level during periods of disability. Oxygen perfusion contributes to measurable levels in the recovery speed of damaged muscle and connective tissue in injuries.

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.
