Simulate High Altitude from your living room. No equipment needed. Just hold your breath. Learn how.

Instead of bringing you to the mountain, let us bring the mountain to you. OxygenAdvantage.com program by Patrick McKeown includes seven exercises which can be incorporated into your normal training regime to attain the benefits of high altitude training. Improve your oxygen carrying capacity, VO2 max and sports performance in as little as ten minutes.

Also another benefit is from hypoxic trianing/ breath holdin, is that when your blood co2 levels rise it increases the ph of your blood which deoptimizes the quaternary confirmation of hemoglobin reducing the energy needed to release o2 via allosteric inhibition. This is nerd speak for hemoglobin does it's job better. To use this, hold your breath between runs/sprints as long as you can and then breath as fast and deeply as you can to recover faster.

Hypoxic training releases serotonin which impacts the nervous system, they are using intermittant hypoxic training as treatment.

Hi Patrick, interesting talk. A couple of points that came to mind. 1. I don't consider VO2max to be the 'holy grail' for endurance sporting performance - instead I think the blood is far more important. Specifically haemoglobin volume and haematocrit. Athletes with high VO2max can have low efficiency transfer of oxygen to the blood and then the muscles. 2. Personally I'm always a little skeptical about these oxygen tents, as the decrease in oxygen is not hypobaric (like it would be at altitude).

[@kptrzk9398]

I am confused by all of this stuff. I have a pretty good Absolute VO2 of 5.2L (60-70 Relative VO2, depending on weight) and my power is pretty good (FTP of just over 5w/kg & I'm sprinter). But my blood tests show pretty low hematocrit & hemoglobin levels... so what gives!?

So if we keep our oxygen saturation below 90 for 24 seconds or more then we can increase epo by 24% or more.. so here is the question......... I can do this with one of those Fingertip Pulse Oximeter Blood Oxygen Saturation Monitors on, step 1. Do 30 deep in-out breaths hyperventilate style, step 2 hold on the last exhale, I will be well below 90% saturation and be able to hold for almost 2 minutes without to many issues, with small air sips if needed.........am I doing this correctly to increase EPO????? because I have seen you say to practice 5 breath holds on the exhale twice a day, I have done that for some time now, but my question on that is,,,,,,, does that increase the EPO since typically 30-40 seconds is not enough to get the oxygen saturation below 90% for any amount of time. many thanks for your work,,,

looking at the title, this actually helps as someone that found high altitude training interesting but def won't go to a mountain

Is the kind of training relevant for anaerobic exercice ?

[@mtbjr.408]

Nope only for aerobic

[@PepIM85]

Is better an hypoxic tent?

[@OxygenAdvantage]

We can't say if it's better @GiLec-go4wr as we haven't tested against the tents. However you should expect similar results without out the need for the tent when using altitude simulation breathing techniques. We would also expect it to be safer as you can take a break at any time and return to your normal breathing rate.

[@nonobebert7646]

How long does it take to get to less than 91% before holding your breath for 24 sec ?

[@metalgames2532]

The win Hof method is the best

[@lizaltman1200]

stupid Q but do smokers have higher levels of epo as a result of their weakened / damaged lungs?

[@chadbhaiyya5167]

Very old comment but i'll answer it anyway, Yes smokers do have higher EPO according to a research

[@jeremiahhill5851]

What does he mean by altitude? Is it heigh

[@KCCgoKartMAN]

Yes, altitude is height. Altitude is another way to measure how tall into the sky something is

[@rodovariocragur8732]

I think altirude means above sea level. Height could be about anything and does not have a point of reference

[@tomspeed3354]

what sort of accent this guy has?

[@irenemartin48]

Irish accent, originally grom Galway

[@lucyoriginales]

Well... I oractice yoga and other stuff not breathing. 🫣 It helps. 🤗

[@OxygenAdvantage]

Breath holds are incredibly useful for improving our health and breathing @lucyoriginales.

[@davidjujnovich1929]

Thanks.

[@fermintorres3433]

the Kenyans live and train at high altitude so are they not getting as much conditioning I think not?

[@roddruce]

They do go to sea level to train. It's not all at altitude. What percentage of their training is at sea level I don't know.

So these training masks are doing it wrong by training high, right? We should only be wearing it during sleep and not during training.

[@asna356]

good information

[@johndoe-rp3hz]

Agreed that performance goes down at altitude and you will not have high output. But once you have made the adaptation of 10 days/2oooft that dip in performance gets normalized and you are ready to train hard. So, I wouldn't exclude that from a training regimen. I never got big boosts from sleeping @ 7800 and training lower @6000. I got my boosts from doing the exact opposite.The same goes for mountain climbers. They all go up higher and THEN come down to sleep lower before going back up. My thoughts are that you recover better at rest with more O2 at lower elevations once the adaptation has taken place. Also SmO2 & tHb need to be considered along with VO2 for a complete real time training program.
