ATS products allow this powerful tool to be accessed by athletes of all standards without the expense and time required to travel to real altitude. We can help athletes of all standards reach their optimal performance potential: improvements in repeat sprint effort; oxygen carrying capacity of the blood and other cardio-vascular improvements are all facilitated by altitude training.
Altitude training improves a number of important parameters in sports performance. Recent research using Simulated Altitude Training systems such as ATS equipment has shown improved performance at sea level following a block of altitude exposure and training in elite cyclists1. Other studies 2, 3, 4 demonstrate positive effects such as improved repeat sprint performance, increased anabolic hormonal responses and increased red blood cell mass.
The mechanisms for this are still being researched, but oxygen delivery and utilisation at a number of levels (mechanical and cellular) as well a improved buffering capacity have been demonstrated5,6,7. Most of the immediate benefits to sports performance involve a qualitative improvement in the physiological systems related to oxygen delivery and energy utilisation.
The most significant results in sports performance come from effectively integrated altitude training programs, with individual monitoring and progression. ATS has the resources and experience to assist any athlete achieve the best possible results from altitude training.
Your body works harder in an oxygen reduced (simulated altitude) environment, providing a great workout.
Increased VO2 Max, enhanced power output and diminished fatigue are all possible by integrating altitude training.
Altitude training can be effective in maintaining cardiovascular fitness while reducing mechanical loading.
ATS offer internationally recognised training courses for personal trainers and sports coaches. The level 1 course is essential for all instructors working with SAT equipment and covers topics such as basic physiology, health and safety, product knowledge, training protocols and baseline testing procedures.
Our Education Team are charged with helping you get the competitive edge. And we draw on the professional services of our elite sporting partners such as New South Wales Institute of Sport and University of Lausanne to deliver the latest in altitude training methods for our clients. From start-up programs for personal mask systems, to delivery of accredited instructor courses for Personal Trainers, to tailored high performance services. We’re global leaders in altitude training and education, we’re here to help.
