How 'SAT' Works ....

Simulated Altitude Training (SAT) is also known as Intermittent Hypoxic Treatment (IHT) and is a form of adaptive medicine.

The theory behind adaptive medicine is to put an organism in new and challenging conditions. When this occurs the organism is forced to develop its potential in order to withstand the conditions.

One of the phenomena associated with IHT can be described as a ripple effect – once the body has adapted to cope with one type of stress it can then cope with others. In other words, by fixing one problem the body can fix another.

On completion of a program of IHT the body has adapted to breathing at a higher altitude, enabling it to extract more oxygen from regular air at sea-level.

The body then has an improved ability to defer the onset of exhaustion and can enhance the performance of other functions requiring oxygen.

IHT is also effective as a complementary treatment for chronic illness, in particular heart disease, fatigue and asthma; and as it has similar effects on bodily functions as exercise has, it can therefore be used for both treatment and prevention.

During an SAT session the reduced oxygen air mixture is breathed for 5 minutes followed by 5 minutes of breathing regular room air.

However, this can be tailored to suit specific needs – the time allocated to breathing the air mixture can be reduced or the time breathing room air can be increased and vice versa.

Over the course of the initial 15 sessions the percentage oxygen in the mask is reduced from 14% (equivalent of 3250m altitude) to 10% (equivalent of 6000m altitude).

The equipment used during these sessions is supplied by Biomedtech Australia and is endorsed by the Australian Physiotherapy Association.

Simulated Altitude Training shows optimal results when used in conjunction with Static Contraction Training. For further information about Simulated Altitude Training (SAT) click here.
