Sleeping at altitude is a game-changing strategy for athletes looking to boost red blood cell production and enhance oxygen-carrying capacity. By simulating high-altitude conditions, your body produces more erythropoietin (EPO), stimulating red blood cell production and increasing hemoglobin mass. The result? Improved aerobic capacity and endurance. The Initial Phase: Building Altitude Gains...
When it comes to altitude sleep, data makes all the difference Now, the Box Altitude app integrates seamlessly with popular wearable devices via Apple Health and Health Connect for Android, letting you track essential metrics like heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and SpO2 as you sleep at altitude. These insights help...
Starting altitude training at the end of the cycling season is a strategic approach to maximise physiological adaptations during the off-season. This method hinges on several key benefits related to hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and mitochondrial efficiency, which are crucial for endurance and performance. Key Benefits of Altitude Training Increased Hemoglobin Mass (Hbmass):...
Sleeping in a Box Altitude Sleep Cloud altitude system, which simulates a lower oxygen environment (hypoxia), can provide several potential benefits related to VO2 max (maximal oxygen uptake) and overall aerobic performance. Here are some of the key benefits associated with this practice: Improvements to V02 Max from sleeping in a Sleep Cloud...
