The difference between high-altitude training and plain low oxygen fitness

　　The difference between high-altitude training and plain low oxygen fitness is as follows:

　　1. High altitude training is widely used in the training process of many competitive sports such as long-distance running, swimming, cycling, cross-country skiing, and water sports. Exercise training conducted in high-altitude hypoxic environments is beneficial for improving the body's ability to resist hypoxia. Drawing on the principle of "high-altitude training", the "low oxygen training" in gyms has begun to receive attention from professionals both inside and outside the industry. Although traditional high-altitude training can improve athletes' oxygen transport and utilization abilities, in hypoxic environments, fatigue recovery is slower and muscle working ability decreases. The "low oxygen training" introduced by the gym simulates the low oxygen environment of "high-altitude training". In plain areas, artificial low oxygen environments or inhalation of low oxygen gases are used to make the oxygen content in the gym lower than normal. Research has shown that low oxygen air has good health and therapeutic effects on the human body, which can enhance the body's immune system, increase oxygen transport and liver detoxification, and improve athletes' training ability.

　　2. Strengthening the heart and lungs: In the early stage, it can accelerate heart rate stress, and chronic hypoxia exposure can cause a decrease in heart rate, improvement in cardiac contractility and diastolic function, and a decrease in blood pressure; Effectively increasing maximum oxygen uptake, improving lung ventilation capacity and vital capacity; Enhance the ability of the cardiovascular system to transport oxygen.

　　3. Accelerate fat burning: increase basal metabolic rate, promote the metabolism of fat and protein, and increase mass consumption; Reduce appetite.

　　4. Improve function: enhance muscle strength, stimulate the proliferation of muscle cell capillaries and mitochondria, and activate oxidase activity.

　　5. Physical training: Low oxygen makes the oxygen transport system more effective, which can increase muscle strength and endurance by up to 40%; Reduce effective training time by up to 50%.

　　6. Optimize blood: promote the synthesis and release of EP0, increase RBC (red blood cell) count and HCt (hematocrit), and promote the synthesis and release of human growth hormone.

　　7. Enhancing immunity: In Europe, low oxygen training is often used as an effective means to improve the function of the human immune system when treating cardiovascular and other difficult medical conditions.
