THE METHOD
A different kind of training.
IHHT alternates the oxygen concentration of the air you breathe. A controlled stimulus, experienced while you rest.
UNDERSTAND THE CYCLE
Two phases.
One repeating cycle.
Intermittent hypoxic–hyperoxic training moves between lower-oxygen and higher-oxygen air, delivered through a mask.
Lower oxygen.
An interval with less oxygen than ambient air.

THE SESSION, IN CONTEXT
From preparation
to a considered finish.
A conceptual walkthrough of the method. Actual use follows qualified guidance and the final device instructions.
See a research protocol (opens in a new tab)Establish suitability
A qualified clinician considers health history, medications, and the reason for using IHHT. The research used screened participants; an interest in wellness is not a suitability assessment.
Prepare the setup
The operator checks the equipment and accessories against the device instructions. The participant settles into a comfortable resting position and the mask and required monitoring are prepared.
Begin the guided session
The participant breathes through the mask while resting. Lower-oxygen and higher-oxygen phases alternate according to the session plan.
Observe the response
Research protocols have monitored oxygen saturation and pulse. Appropriate monitoring, supervision, and stopping criteria must be established for the person and equipment being used.
Finish and review
The operator completes the session under the agreed instructions, checks the participant’s response, and records relevant observations before any further session is planned.
A CLOSER LOOK
What changes?
The air you breathe.
An oxygen-based stimulus
IHHT changes oxygen concentration. The method is distinct from breathing exercises and training masks that restrict airflow.
Experienced at rest
IHHT can be performed while seated or reclining. It is a different stimulus from physical exercise, and is not a substitute for it.
A planned session
Appropriate screening, operating guidance, and monitoring matter. Session settings should follow qualified guidance and the device’s instructions.
