How These Technologies Work ...

"Winners must have two things: definite goals and a burning desire to achieve them."

HOW DOES STATIC CONTRACTION TRAINING (SCT) WORK?

Research has shown that the intensity of the lifting is far more critical to muscle growth stimulus than the duration. Therefore, exerting your maximum effort once will generate better results and more benefits than a lesser effort for more repetitions.

The Static Contraction Training (SCT) equipment is designed to measure and display the exact effort you are exerting against the resistance in each exercise. This enables us to accurately track your progress.

Each workout takes approximately half an hour, including stretching and warming up!

Initially the workouts are three days apart, but the time between workouts increases as the numbers indicate that your body needs longer to recover, and build muscle. The time between workouts will depend on the rate of muscle growth.

HOW DOES SIMULATED ALTITUDE TRAINING (SAT) WORK?

Simulated Altitude Training (SAT) is the practice of breathing in an air mixture through a mask in which the levels of oxygen are slowly reduced (15% - 10%), simulating the oxygen levels founds at higher altitudes.

During an SAT treatment session, breathing is alternated every 5 minutes between the air mixture in the mask and regular room air (20.9% at sea level), resulting in fluctuations in oxygen levels in the blood.

While the effects of living at altitude have been well documented, it has been found that more benefit is to be gained from SAT where the body is forced to adapt to these intermittent fluctuations of oxygen levels.

This has the same effects and benefits that are usually associated with training at altitude.

In order to maximise these benefits, the body needs between 15 – 30 sessions to adapt, ensuring more efficient use of oxygen at sea-level.

The effects last for approximately 4 – 6 weeks, at which time another week (5 sessions) of SAT is recommended in order to renew the body's efficient use of oxygen.

The initial programme is one hour a day, five days a week, for three weeks.
