Altitude training is a great complement to any training programme and is a powerful boost to your cardiovascular fitness. Exercising at altitude has long been used by elite sports people as part of their training programme, enabling them to increase their cardiovascular fitness through an increase in red blood cells and improved oxygen efficiency. Following an initial 5 minute acclimatisation process where your body breathes hypoxic air, reducing the amount of oxygen in your blood (saturation), you then exercise for 20-minutes at altitude. Using the professional Watt bike, we monitor your oxygen saturation levels, your heart rate and your corresponding power output during the session to ensure you exercise at an optimal training intensity. The Watt bike also enables us to record each workout and monitor your progress over the weeks.
