Combat AMS by pre-acclimatizing at Home!

The debilitating symptoms of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS) plague about 80% of mountaineers and high altitude tourists traveling above 4000m.  When AMS strikes, the trek may be a failure and the enjoyment is lost.

It is common knowledge that AMS symptoms can be drastically reduced by pre-acclimatization.  Traditionally, acclimatization requires devotion of several weeks living at high increasingly high altitudes. While effective, this approach is always costly 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 has accumulated over the years enables us to offer real-world advice on what works, and guides both our products 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 AltitudeRent's Hypoxic Workout Systems.
	Another hypoxic training method is known as Intermittent Hypoxic Therapy (IHT).  Get used to spending short periods of time at extremely high altitudes while relaxing watching TV.
