What is hypoxia training and how does it work?
Altitude and hypoxia training achieve physiological and biochemical adaptations in the musculoskeletal system and aerobic metabolism.
Relit.Hipox is an advanced preparation facility where athletes have access to treadmills, bicycles, and ski machines that can simulate altitude training.
What does it mean to train in hypoxia?
Hypoxia training is a form of physical preparation that involves reducing oxygen availability in a controlled manner. It is a technique commonly used in elite sports before a competition.
Thanks to Relit.Hipox technology, we can simulate environments from 1,200 m to 6,700 m with the aim of improving athletic performance and altitude acclimatization.
Physiological mechanism: how the body responds to lack of oxygen
People living at high altitudes are adapted to the lack of oxygen. When the amount of oxygen in the air is reduced, the body needs to make certain changes to maintain its efficiency under those conditions. Decades ago, the physiological mechanism of hypoxia began to be studied to improve athletic performance.
In response to a lack of oxygen, the body increases the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin to deliver more oxygen to the bloodstream. Furthermore, hypoxia improves the efficiency of fat consumption and lactic acid clearance. All of this leads to an increase in athletic performance.
Benefits of Hypoxia Training for Athletes
Hypoxia training is common in certain sports. All athletes can benefit from simulated altitude training to improve their performance.
The advantages observed in hypoxia for athletes include:
- Increased aerobic capacity and VO2max
- Improved metabolic efficiency
- Stimulation of red blood cell production (erythropoiesis)
- Reduced muscle recovery time
- Greater tolerance to exertion and fatigue
It is important to note that consistency is an essential factor to experience the positive effects of hypoxia training.
Who is hypoxia training suitable for?
This methodology is suitable for:
- Endurance athletes who practice running, cycling, triathlon, etc.
- Mountaineers and climbers preparing for a summit ascent
- Hikers or trekkers planning a trek above 2,500m.
- Individuals traveling to a destination where the average altitude is above 2,500m.
- Team sports, such as football, basketball, rugby, etc.
- Martial arts and contact sports
- And, of course, to accelerate the recovery and readaptation of athletes who have suffered an injury.
IHHT (Intermittent Hypoxic–Hyperoxic Training): cellular optimization for superior performance
At Relit.Hipox, we incorporate IHHT (Intermittent Hypoxic–Hyperoxic Training) as one of the most advanced techniques to improve physical capacity, metabolic resilience, and the body’s energy efficiency. This method, used in high-level clinical and sports environments, combines controlled phases of hypoxia (low oxygen concentration) with hyperoxia (high oxygen concentration), generating a profound and safe physiological adaptation.
For its application, we rely on specialized technology, a leader in hypoxia-hyperoxia training, which guarantees precision, safety, and millimeter-accurate adjustment of each respiratory parameter. This level of control allows for personalized stimulation and optimizes the body’s response in each session.
