About Altitude Training
What is Altitude Training?
Simulated altitude training is designed to mimic the effects of training at high altitudes with less oxygen in the air.
While sea level air contains around 20-22% oxygen, ALE simulated high altitudes generally contain around 13-15% oxygen.
How does it work?
When the body is in an oxygen reduced environment, whether at rest or training, it is stimulated to adapt by enhancing the various ways it uses oxygen to produce energy.
In turn this boosts our body’s efficiency, improving the way the heart and lungs function, in addition to the way muscles and organs use fuel. Through regular training in an altitude environment comes adaptations both physically and mentally, in addition to increased performance.
What are the benefits?
Altitude Training has been vastly researched, with a number of benefits associated:
- Increased weight loss and metabolic rate
- Improved aerobic performance and rehabilitation
- Enhanced muscle blood flow and vasodilation of blood vessels
- Increase in repeat sprint to exhaustion by 38% - lower body
- Increase in repeat sprint to exhaustion by 58% - upper body
