Hypoxicator

Appareil pour simuler des environnements hypoxiques.

General Description:

The Hypoxicator is an altitude simulation device designed to reduce the oxygen concentration in the air inspired by the athlete. It is extensively used for hypoxic training (Live Low – Train High, or Live High – Train Low methods) to significantly improve endurance and overall aerobic performance.

 

Technical Characteristics:

Simulated O₂ Concentration Range: 9% – 21%

Simulated Altitude: 0 – 6,500 m (depending on the specific model)

Air Flow Rate: 60 – 100 L/min (adjustable)

Filtration: Integrated high-efficiency air purification system

 

Modes of Operation:

• Individual hypoxic mask
• Hypoxic tent or hypoxic chamber

Power Supply: 220–240 V / 50–60 Hz

Weight: 10 – 25 kg (depending on the model)

Interface: Digital display with real-time FiO₂ (Fraction of Inspired Oxygen) control

Safety Features: Automatic alarms (for dangerously low O₂ levels or airflow failure)

 

Applications:

• Hypoxic training for elite endurance athletes
• Pre-acclimatization prior to traveling to high altitudes
• Scientific research in exercise physiology and sports medicine
• Clinical studies related to hypoxia and adaptation

 

 Advantages:

• Accurate simulation of high altitude environments without the need for geographical travel
• Suitable for both individual and group training sessions
• Cost-effective alternative compared to prolonged high-altitude training camps
• Real-time control and precise monitoring of the inspired oxygen fraction (FiO₂)
