Training in the highlands.
A type of cardio training - training in the highlands - has become widespread among fitness enthusiasts. This kind of training simulates finding the human body in conditions of lack of oxygen.
Why do you need training in conditions of oxygen deprivation? Such training is akin to hardening the body. They develop the stability and endurance of all systems in extreme conditions of hypoxia (oxygen starvation).
High altitude training simulates thin air at an altitude of 5.8 km. For people whose profession or recreational conditions are in any way connected with high-altitude loads, such training is indispensable. They allow you to train blood vessels, myocardium, brain function in conditions that reproduce a lack of oxygen.
Training in high altitude conditions requires specially equipped hermetic rooms with a lifting mechanism to the required height and devices that control the oxygen concentration in the training room.
The athlete himself puts on a finger a detector that monitors the amount of oxygen in the blood in order to prevent the indicators from dropping to the critical level and below.
The training time is from 10 minutes to an hour.
From the point of view of the practical use of the results of training in hypoxia, their necessity may turn out to be necessary for living in a polluted atmosphere.
A person unprepared for living in high-altitude areas can get sick with altitude sickness. For this reason, the above workouts can be useful for people who want to spend their holidays high in the mountains.
In medical practice, a method of normobaric hypoxic therapy has been developed, which scientifically substantiates the need for training in high altitude conditions.
