Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training (IHHT) is an innovative and effective tool for optimising health, performance, and recovery.
Used by athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and those looking to enhance overall well-being, IHHT offered through CellAir has gained recognition for its numerous benefits. But is it safe for everyone?
Here’s a deep dive into the safety of Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training…
IHHT involves alternating cycles of low oxygen (hypoxia) and high oxygen (hyperoxia) exposure.
This controlled process stimulates beneficial physiological adaptations, including improved cellular function, enhanced recovery, and increased resilience to oxidative stress. While the technology is well-researched and widely used, its safety depends on individual circumstances and correct application.
When administered within recommended guidelines and under professional supervision, IHHT is a safe and non-invasive method that can support a range of health and performance goals. The Cellair system at RP-X is designed to provide controlled, customised sessions tailored to the user’s health status and objectives.
The CellAir IHHT system allows for precise control over oxygen levels, ensuring that sessions are tailored to an individual's tolerance and needs. This customisation reduces the risk of adverse effects and ensures a progressive adaptation to hypoxia.
IHHT has been extensively studied and is used in both clinical and athletic settings. Research highlights its benefits for cardiovascular health, mitochondrial function, and recovery, with minimal risk when applied appropriately.
Unlike traditional altitude training, which requires prolonged exposure to reduced oxygen environments, IHHT is a passive therapy—users simply relax while the system administers controlled oxygen variations. This makes it accessible even to those who may not be able to engage in high-intensity training.
While IHHT is generally safe, certain individuals should consult a medical professional before starting:
For these individuals, a thorough assessment should be conducted to determine suitability and ensure safety.
When used within established guidelines, Intermittent Hypoxia-Hyperoxia Training (IHHT) with CellAir Altitude Training is a safe, effective, and evidence-based tool for recovery, performance enhancement, and overall well-being.
By offering a controlled and individualised approach, IHHT can provide significant benefits while prioritising user safety.
