Whar we offer ?
Our hypoxia training protocols are designed to help you reach your performance and health goals. Each session begins with guided instruction and is then tailored to your level and ambitions.
It includes:
- training on a bike or treadmill in a normobaric hypoxic chamber (with no change in atmospheric pressure) in altitudes ranging between 2,500 m and 4,000 m (depending on the training plan chosen)
- continuous training, i.e. at a constant intensity
- intermittent training, i.e. repeated sprint training at varying levels of intensity
- passive training, i.e. intermittent hypoxic exposure (IHE) in a relaxed, non-active state
Each protocol is tailored to optimize your physiological adaptations and results, whether you are a high-level athlete, an enthusiast, or simply curious to experience altitude training
