As motivated and progressive individuals, we are faced with different and new challenges everyday. Our minds enable us to learn and grow in order to overcome these challenges.

It just so happens that your brain is not the only intelligent part of your body. The rest of your body is capable of overcoming similarly challenging scenarios without your knowledge. This is precisely what happens through the use of altitude training technology.

Major benefits from Altitude Training are:

• Improved aerobic performance

• Increased metabolic rate and calorie burn

• Improved oxygen utilisation

• Time efficient training

• Improved physiological function

Exposure to reduced oxygen levels (altitude or hypoxia) is a challenge to the human body because oxygen is the primary source of energy for our cells. Under a state of hypoxia the body strives to produce required amounts of energy with less oxygen available.

To do so, a protein called Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF-1) sets off a host of reactions geared toward improving the body’s ability to utilize oxygen.

Simulated Altitude training can provide added benefits to your training as a cyclist or trialthete.

Ride Oz offers Altitude training in our Ormiston showroom. The program suggests 3 days a week over 6 weeks to increase your body to peak performance. A training plan and diet can be run in conjunction if extra weight needs to be shed.
