Combat AMS by pre-acclimatizing at Home!

The debilitating symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) will plague about 80% of mountaineers and tourists traveling above 13,000ft/4,000m.  When AMS strikes, the trip may be a failure and the enjoyment lost.

It is common knowledge that AMS symptoms can be drastically reduced through pre-acclimatization.  Traditionally, acclimatization has required devotion of several weeks spent at increasingly higher altitudes. While effective, this approach is always costly, time consuming and often impractical.  Now, acclimatization can be done at home with the revolutionary Hypoxic Training System.

What is Hypoxic Training?

Hypoxic training, sometimes called Altitude Training, involves exercising in, living in or otherwise breathing oxygen reduced air for the purpose of improved athletic performance and physical wellness. Traditionally, athletes had to travel to or live at high elevations to obtain the performance enhancing benefits of this phenomenon.
Circa 1995, the patented technology of Hypoxico Inc. eliminated this hardship by allowing altitude facilities to be set up anywhere. Through the production of normobaric hypoxic (oxygen reduced) air, we can simulate altitudes of up to 21,000ft/6,400m. As a result, athletes and fitness enthusiasts worldwide can take advantage of the benefits associated with altitude training while at sea-level.
 

Expected benefits

• Pre-acclimatize to altitude exposure
• Reduce the symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)
• Improve stamina & endurance
• Improve recovery time
• Reduce fatigue
• Improve concentration span

Methods of altitude training  Thirty years of scientific research have drawn a few conclusions on the best ways to achieve the benefits of altitude training.  The feedback we have accumulated over the years enables us to offer real-world advice on what works, regarding our product development and suggested protocols.

	The most commonly used protocol is known as “Sleep-high, train-low,” which involves sleeping at high-altitudes while continuing regular workouts at sea-level.  The Hypoxic Altitude Tent is just one of our products that athletes and climbers utilize to “sleep-high.”
	More recently athletes and scientists have begun to support the benefits of incorporating hypoxic workouts into a training regimen.  Acclimatize faster with one of RentAltitude's Hypoxic Workout Systems.
	Another hypoxic training method is known as Intermittent Hypoxic Therapy (IHT).  Get used to hypoxia by spending short periods of time at extremely high altitudes while in a relaxed state.
