It has been
well established that exposure to the rarefied air which exists
in the mountains brings about changes in the body which improve
performance in athletes. The
only problem is that training and living at altitude is not available
to everyone.
Studies have
shown that you do not have to live at altitude to obtain the benefits.
A 2 to 3 week course of short bursts of exposure to altitude air
(1-2 hours a day) has similar benefits compared to prolonged stay
at an altitude resort.
The NZMTC
has access to an altitude simulation system which has been used
over the last 5 years by various individuals. The 'hypoxicator'
has helped general public with breathing difficulties to the Olympic
Athletes looking for that extra percent.
Cost per week
NZ$80.00 (1st week) $50.00 (follow up weeks)
