As a rule, altitude training of athletes takes place at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, which corresponds to an atmospheric oxygen of about 16%.
Optimal Health hypoxia training at rest usually starts at 15% atmospheric oxygen. However, the majority of people require significantly less atmospheric oxygen (13%-11%) to achieve adequate training effects.
Since each person reacts very individually to hypoxic air, the exact oxygen requirement is determined in advance using a fully automatic hypoxia test.
The user then breathes in the low-oxygen air determined individually in the hypoxia test and oxygen-rich or normal air via a breathing mask at intervals.
You can breathe normally during exercise and do not feel shortness of breath. During the session, the trainee can be left alone. As a rule, one session of hypoxia training lasts 40 minutes.
Just like in sports, the regeneration phases are important. That is why hypoxia training is recommended only every two days, so that the body can recover accordingly.

What is Hypoxic Training?
Hypoxic Training
A Nobel Discovery
In 2019, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to three scientists, William Kaelin, Gregg Semenza and Peter Ratcliffe. They had discovered molecular mechanisms that enable cells to measure oxygen levels and recognise when adaptive responses become necessary.
Especially hypoxia contributes to positive reactions that help the body to supply all organs and organ systems with sufficient oxygen.
Already in his publication in 2012, Gregg Semenza was able to document the influence of hypoxia on mitochondrial function and show that under hypoxic conditions, apoptosis of weakened mitochondria is accelerated and at the same time the formation of new mitochondria is stimulated. You too can benefit from the many advantages of hypoxia training.
History of Use
Looking back
The use of hypoxia has been routine in sports medicine for decades under the term altitude training. The positive influence of the high-altitude climate has been known for centuries.In 1968, the Summer Olympics were held in Mexico City. With an altitude of 2240 meters, the venue was significantly higher than the other venues before. The preparations for these competitions gave impetus to the development of the first systematic altitude training methods. In addition, the great successes of long-distance runners from the highlands of Kenya and Ethiopia at low altitudes prompted them to look further into altitude training as preparation for competitions in the lowlands.
Further west, intermittent hypoxia as a method has only been in the focus of science for a good 20 years. But: It is developing very dynamically. Several hundred topic-related publications per year are a reflection of scientific interest.
Our Solution
INTERVAL HYPOXIA HYPEROXIA TRAINING - IHHT
Optimal Health hypoxia training usually takes place in the practice in a relaxed situation while lying down.The application is perceived as pleasant and leads many to relax and fall asleep during it. In contrast to the altitude training of athletes, there is usually no athletic activity during hypoxia training. To mimic the stimuli of physical exertion, Optimal Health hypoxia training uses a more reduced oxygen concentration. As a rule, altitude training of athletes takes place at an altitude of about 2,000 meters, which corresponds to an atmospheric oxygen of about 16%.Athletes who want to increase their performance and achieve the best possible results should perform hypoxia training with Optimal Health Hypoxic Training Machine during moderate physical exertion, for example on a bicycle or treadmill.

Faster regeneration - maximum training effect - same time commitment!
Adaptive hyperoxia makes interval hypoxia training much more efficient, increases training success, minimizes oxidative stress from hyperoxia, and leads to higher user satisfaction.
Interval Hypoxie/Normoxie (IHT)
Advantage: In the training phase (hypoxia), oxygen saturation quickly drops back into the training range (below 90% SPO2) because there is no supersaturation. The training stimulus of hypoxia is thus optimally exploited.
Disadvantage: In the recovery phase (normoxia), it takes longer for the initial oxygen saturation in the blood to be restored. The regeneration time is not optimally utilized. Some users even fail to saturate to pre-exercise SpO2 levels with normoxia.
Interval Hypoxie/Hyperoxie (IHHT)
Advantage: In the recovery phase (hyperoxia), the initial oxygen saturation in the blood is quickly restored. The regeneration time is optimally utilized.
Disadvantage: In the training phase (hypoxia), it takes longer for oxygen saturation to return to the training range (below 90% SPO2), as supersaturation may be present. The effective training time can thus be significantly reduced with the Hyperoxia setting. In addition, prolonged hyperoxia administration can lead to increased oxidative stress, which may be detrimental in severely debilitated individuals.
Adaptive hyperoxia
At the beginning of the recovery phase, hyperoxic air is administered until the oxygen saturation in the blood reaches 99% (adjustable between 93% and 99% SpO2). The regeneration time is optimally utilized.
Normoxic air is then breathed for the remainder of the recovery period to prevent oxygen supersaturation. Thus, the subsequent training phase is not unnecessarily shortened. The oxygen saturation in the blood quickly drops back into the training range. The training stimulus of hypoxia is optimally utilized. In addition, oxidative stress is reduced to a minimum with simultaneous rapid saturation, since hyperoxia is only given until the set SpO2 value is reached.
ONE OF THE MANY ADVANTAGES OF OUR HYPOXIA MACHINE IS:
ADAPTIVE HYPEROXIA!
Adaptive hyperoxia combines the respective advantages of hypoxia/normoxia (IHT) and hypoxia/hyperoxia (IHHT) while avoiding their specific disadvantages.
Your safety is our priority
Since safety is the top priority during hypoxia training, we use two pulse oximeters for optimal safety. Thus, using the two pulse oximeters, two values for SpO2 are always recorded in parallel and compared with each other. If a pulse oximeter fails, displays incorrect values, or the difference between the two readings becomes too great, the automatic safety mechanism kicks in and the user is immediately supplied with normoxic or hyperoxic air. With this double protection, safety during treatment is ensured, an accidental lowering of the SpO2 below the limit range can be ruled out and thus cell damage can be avoided.
So that the user does not find the pulse oximeter annoying, we use special pulse oximeters made of soft material with a long cable, which are very comfortable to wear and provide sufficient freedom of movement. Even women with long fingernails do not find them unpleasant.
In the event of a power failure, our machine contains a safety valve that ensures the supply of room air at all times if it can no longer supply air.
Training Modes
Hypoxia / normoxia
Normoxia is considered to be normal levels of oxygen with regard to the physiological responses of living organisms and hypoxia is when oxygen is deficient for aerobic organisms(Tyson and Pearson, 1991).
Hypoxia / Hyperoxia
Hyperoxia is the opposite of hypoxia; hyperoxia refers to a state in which oxygen supply to the tissues is excessive, and hypoxia refers to a state in which oxygen supply is insufficient.
Hypoxia / adaptive hyperoxia
Adaptive hyperoxia combines the advantages of both methods and eliminates their disadvantages.
