FOR A SUMMARY OF A PRESENTATION ON INTERMITTENT HYPOXIX TRAINING GIVEN BY DR JOHN HELLEMANS RECENTLY AT THE HONG KONG SPORTS INSTITUTE please click here

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)
