The idea of Exercise With Oxygen Therapy began with the publication; How Exercise with Oxygen Therapy can: STOP AGING or slow the process by William Campbell Douglas, MD.  His fundamental idea was that exercising while breathing oxygen can prolong useful and enjoyable life.

Physiological studies have revealed the positive benefits of exercising while breathing an increased density of inhaled oxygen.  Inhalation of clean, life-sustaining oxygen, increases the partial pressure of oxygen provided in the lungs.  Increased metabolic needs can be met.

Exercise With Oxygen allows the body to function at a higher level, increasing exercise tolerance.  The result is improved cardiovascular function, enhanced performance, extended endurance and greater caloric burn for each minute of exercise.

Hyperoxic workouts are now considered a valued training modality to achieve higher levels of athletic performance.  The idea of living high and training low has shown great promise for competitive athletes. 

Under this paradigm, living high stimulates the oxygen carrying capacity of blood.  Training low (hyperoxia) allows for greater performance of muscles.  Greater muscle performance results in physiological adaptation such as improved aerobic energy production.

The Oxyvital EWO2 System utilizes a unique open breathing device called the PILOT CANNULA.  Open breathing devices have been shown to increase exercise performance by up to 22%

DEDICATED ROOM ENVIRONMENT

Progressive fitness facilities such as the Four Seasons Hong Kong, provide dedicated room environments for their fintess customers.  Purified and oxygenated air, provides the ideal environment for the healthful pursuit of Pilates, Yoga and Aerobic Exercise.   Dedicated room environments are popular in urban areas where reduced oxygen levels and air pollution, impair health.  For those wishing to train at altitude, dedicated nitrogen rooms can provide an altitude like experience.  Please review the perfomance tests for oxyvital systems in the Indoor Air section of this web site.
