Altitude training has been used by professional boxers for over 40 years as a way to increase stamina and endurance to prepare for a fight. Traditional altitude training requires a move to a high altitude camp, such as Big Bear, California for 2-10, weeks prior to a fight. The costs are high and altitude effects only last for 2 weeks after a return to sea level. Now, many well paid...
Gemma Steel improved on her 31st place finish in the grueling conditions at the World Cross-Country Championships in China.Finishing as the second-fastest European in the field, Steel the European cross-country champion crossed the line in 18th place. “It was a solid performance, considering how hard it was,” said Steel.The 29-year old, from Whitwick, led the Great Britain team in the hilly and humid conditions in Guiyang. Steel trained in a...
Historically Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) and altitude training has long been used for distance running since the 1960's. Traditional altitude training with the - live high, train high - method requires a minimum of 3 weeks of living at high altitude to get acclimated. Thereafter, when you relocate to a low altitude racing venue to compete the benefits of altitude exposure begin to disappear about 2 weeks later and the...
Imagine standup paddling from San Francisco, California to Oahu, Hawaii. This is how Jones plans to bring awareness and engagement to environmental stewardship for our world oceans. Jones is training with AltoLab Altitude Simulator in preparation for the record journey. For four months, Jones will risk his life and push his body to extreme limits across a journey of 2351 miles across the Pacific Ocean.With years of practice and record...
U.S. Army veteran John Franklin (10-0-0, 4 KOs) first fight outside of Colorado at the Fists of the Fighting Irish pro boxing event at the Jersey City Armory this past weekend.Before the fight he was caught saying, ”When you're not in the (Colorado) elevation you get to work a lot harder because it's easier to breathe. But I work hard regardless, I'm ready for anything.” During the main event, U.S. Army...

The Himalayas from 20,000 ft. from Teton Gravity Research on Vimeo. The aerial cinema experts at Teton Gravity Research release the first ultra HD footage of the Himalayas shot from above 20,000 ft. with the GSS C520 system, the most advanced gyro-stabilized camera system in the world. Filmed from a helicopter with a crew flying from Kathmandu at 4,600 ft. up to 24,000 ft. on supplemental oxygen, these are some...
The University of Canberra program is investigating ways for elite athletes to train in high altitude with the help of a new state-of-the-art environmental chamber at the University of Canberra's Sporting Commons. Mimicking the environmental conditions of other places around the world to recreate similar conditions so athletes can acclimatise at home before they go compete.

Improve Power & Endurance with AltoLab Altitude Training Our technology enhances power, endurance, and sports performance through altitude simulation training. AltoLab athletes are winning dozens of Olympic medals, and championships in the World Cup, Tour de France, Ironman, the NFL, and many other sports. Elevation and altitude simulation training is one of the quickest and most cost-effective, legal ways of improving sports performance, but the benefits for blood and muscle...
The use of a re-breathing device such as AltoLab results in improved performance for events which rely heavily on aerobic power. These findings are similar in regard to performance adaptations found in other acclimatization investigations, terrestrial or simulated. The re-breathing form of simulated elevation training found in AltoLab may be utilized as an alternative to terrestrial or other forms of simulated altitude, in efforts to mediate performance gains in endurance...
As you breathe the AltoLab hypoxic silo removes excess CO2 from your exhaled air and mixes it with fresh air. Each mixing stack simulates high altitude (5,000 ft. per stack). Experienced people can use 4 stacks at a time to lower their blood CO2 levels. Stacks add and remove easily to “change altitude.” Blood O2 levels are monitored continuously during each session with a pulse oximeter worn on finger....
