Introducing io
io altitude simulation
io altitude simulators work by forcing the body to react as if at altitude. The result – boosted energy levels, feeling healthier, a stronger and fitter body.
Thinner air at altitude means it takes greatly increased effort just to breathe, let alone do anything else. That increased effort has proven beneficial effects.
the power of oxygen
Imagine harnessing that
increased effort to enhance wellness? Imagine making the
body achieve the benefits of working at altitude, wherever
you are? io altitude simulation releases the ‘power of
oxygen’ - the essential ‘fuel’ our bodies need to function
efficiently from the inside out.
how io works
The io
programme delivers ‘thinner’ air, via a mask, inducing
beneficial stress in the body and causing it to react by
producing a higher proportion of red blood cells. The more
red blood cells you have, the more efficient your body
becomes at transporting and utilising oxygen.
This reaction is caused by the body having to adjust to alternately breathing normal (sea level) air and high altitude (hypoxic) air every 5 minutes for an hour a day over a set number of days.
io’s unique, sophisticated and responsive delivery system ensures the body will become as efficient as possible at utilising available oxygen, whether for sporting fitness or increased strength and well-being.
the io programme is natural and drug-free
It’s a
passive programme to rapidly strengthen the body, keep it
fit and well, and offer relief from various conditions. The
programme takes 50 hours over one year - one hour a day for
15 days, followed by one hour a day for a 5 day booster
session every 6-8 weeks.
io clients should notice beneficial changes from as early as day 5. However, the full benefits are normally apparent within 5 -15 days of completing either an initial or a booster course.
all you
have to do is breathe
Visit your local io centre, relax
in a chair and read, listen to music or watch TV and breathe
- leaving your body to do the work - then enjoy the results.
tried and tested
Altitude simulation is not new -
making its benefits available to the general public is.
Altitude simulators were first developed more than 40 years
ago in the Russian aerospace medicine programme to train
cosmonauts. Around the same time, scientists and sports
trainers noticed the amazing results achieved by athletes
from high altitude countries at the 1968 Mexico City
Olympics (2,240m above sea level).
Since then, altitude training has become a regular part of many professional athletes’ training regimes. The science and technology behind high altitude training has continued to develop and is now available to the public at a local io centre.
where
is io available?
io is headquartered in Queenstown, New
Zealand. It has centres in Queenstown, Wellington NZ,
Auckland NZ and Manchester England. An intensive development
plan will see io centres open soon around the world.
