[Joshua J. Holland twitter] We take our training seriously while having fun at the same time. 😜😅Basically, training on a whole new level (pun-intended)!! - This video clip is a sample of some of our high altitude training at @hypoxico in which the room simulates high altitude conditions. On this day, we were training at approx 13,000 feet... intense, but interesting and fun. “Altitude training, also known as hypoxic training, involves exercising in, living in, or otherwise breathing oxygen reduced air for the purpose of improved athletic performance, pre-acclimatization to altitude and/or physical wellness. When the human body is exposed to hypoxia (oxygen reduced environments), it struggles to produce required amounts of energy with less available oxygen. This struggle triggers the onset of a range of physiological adaptations geared towards enhancing the efficiency of the body’s respiratory, cardiovascular and oxygen utilization systems. Traditionally, individuals had to travel to or live at high elevations to obtain the benefits of this phenomenon. Circa 1995, the patented technology of Hypoxico Inc. eliminated this hardship by allowing high altitude training facilities to be set up anywhere. Through the production of normobaric hypoxic air, we can stimulate altitudes of up to 21,000 ft/6,400m. As a result, athletes, fitness enthusiasts and health conscious individuals worldwide can take advantage of the benefits associated with altitude training while at sea level.
