The Altipod® Sleep Canopy makes a quantum leap forward in Simulated Altitude training bringing the scientifically proven principles of “Live High Train Low” over your pillow. It is the premier solution that is totally portable, easy to assemble, unobtrusive and with no humidity or heat build up ensuring you get a restful night’s sleep whilst eliciting the physiological benefits of altitude training.
The Altipod® Sleep Canopy has distinct advantages over the larger more cumbersome hypoxic tents supplied by our competitors Hypoxico and Colorado Altitude Training.
1. Fill Time:
The Altipod® Sleep Canopy achieved an altitude of 2400m (15.4% O₂) using the McKinley Altitude Simulator® in 4mins 34seconds and maintained this altitude for a continuous period of 8hours.
An equivalent trial using a competitors’ hypoxic tent resulted in a fill time of over 2hrs.
2. Air Changes:
The Altipod® Sleep Canopy allows air changes to take place continuously. This is due to its relatively small size, the flow rate from the McKinley Altitude Simulator® and hypoxic exhaust vents designed into the product.
Competitors larger hypoxic tents in trials suffered with an intolerable build up of carbon dioxide with users complaining of a heavy head feeling in the morning.
3. Practicality:
An oversite that is neglected by our competitors is the need for a well hydrated athlete/user to exit the hypoxic tent during the night and return to the hypoxic tent without needing to wait several hours for the tent to return to the desired simulated altitude.
The Altipod® Sleep Canopy solves this problem with its rapid fill time. During trials it was found that when an athlete exited the Altipod during the night and returned it took less than 3minutes to return to 2400m (15.4% O₂).
