Altitude Training: Elevating Athletic Performance
Altitude training is a practice embraced by endurance athletes worldwide. Leveraging the physiological challenges posed by high-altitude environments to enhance athletic performance. Using the body's adaptive responses to hypoxia (low oxygen levels). To increase red blood cell count & oxygen-carrying capacity. This training method has evolved in technique & technology since its recognition. During the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)
Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is a therapeutic technique. That combines physical activity with the inhalation with the inhalation of enriched oxygen. To enhance physiological & cognitive functions. By enhancing oxygen availability to the tissues. This method leverages the increased availability of oxygen to:
- improved athletic performance
- accelerate recovery
- support overall health
This article explores the concept of EWOT, its mechanisms, benefits, & potential applications in both clinical & fitness settings.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment. That involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment. This therapy has been used for decades to treat a variety of conditions. From decompression sickness in divers to chronic wounds & more recently, long COVID. By increasing the amount of oxygen in the blood, HBOT enhances the body's natural healing processes. Showing promise in both clinical & experimental settings. This increase in oxygen concentration:
- promotes healing
- accelerates tissue repair
- enhances the body’s natural ability to fight infections
