Nobel Prize for Hypoxia
In the 1980s, scientists in the former USSR used “artificial” hypoxia to prepare their pilots and astronauts for their missions. This led to the creation of a new form of training and therapy – IHT training (interval hypoxia training).
IHT was used successfully there in both competitive sports and medicine. However, in the western world this was still viewed very critically. Prof. Dr. Martin Burtscher was one of the first scientists at a western European university to work intensively on hypoxia research and to publish studies in the fields of cardiology, pulmonology and sports medicine. As an equipment supplier and supporter of numerous universities and research institutions, we have made a significant contribution to the rapid increase in the number of publications.
Schon 2005, lange bevor dies andere Firmen taten, haben wir dann unser Konzept auf medizinischen Kongressen zusammen mit unserem damaligen wissenschaftlichen Leiter, Prof. Dr. Hermann Buhl*, and did not always receive positive feedback, but that did not stop us from continuing to work on our idea.
In 2008, we conducted a joint project with Charité in Berlin in our former training institute in Cologne conducted studies in the field of metabolic syndrome. Further studies with the DSHS in Cologne and the universities in Magdeburg, Heidelberg and others followed. We then created evaluated training concepts for a wide variety of target groups, which are still being successfully implemented today.
The awarding of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Medicine for research into the effects of hypoxia on the human organism confirms our approach.
Mit unserem I(H)HT-Trainingskonzept bekommst du eine nicht invasive Trainingsmethode, die sowohl auf mitochondrialer, vegetativer und endothelialer Ebene wirken kann.
*Prof. Dr. Hermann Buhl war Forschungsdirektor des FKS sowie auch Leiter des Höhenmedizinischen Zentrums der DDR in Kienbaum. In dieser Funktion hatte er schon in den 80er Jahren viele der heute bestätigten Wirkungsebenen des Hypoxietrainings auf unseren Organismus erforscht. Anhand vieler Biopsien konnte er schon damals den starken Einfluß der Hypoxie auf das Mitochondrium beweisen. Auch nach seiner Zeit im Leistungssport hat ihn das Höhentraining nicht mehr losgelassen und zusammen mit uns hat er dann neue Hypoxietrainingskonzepte für Patienten entwickelt. „Seine tiefen Einblicke in die Zelle und unsere langen – häufig auch sehr philosophischen Gespräche – haben mich immer wieder bestärkt das Thema Hypoxietraining weiterzuentwickeln“, Harry Mutschler CEO Höhenbalance GmbH.
altitude training
What types of altitude training are there?
Altitude training is a fascinating method that is becoming increasingly important not only in elite sport but also in the health and fitness world. There are various types of altitude training, all of which aim to simulate the lack of oxygen at high altitudes and thus strengthen the body and increase performance.
Check out our video to get an exciting insight into the different types of altitude training and to find out which method suits you!
