About the CVAC™ Technology:
Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning™ (CVAC™) is a patent-pending process that requires delivery by a high-performance altitude simulator. While comfortably seated in the CVAC altitude simulator, rapid, rhythm-based changes in pressure, temperature and oxygen provide enhanced fitness through the patent-pending combination of the benefits of high-altitude adaptation and total body resistance training.
The CVAC™ process works within the natural/breathable atmosphere, and does not employ chemical or similar artificial means to manipulate concentration of oxygen. In a CVAC™ session, pressure is increased and decreased to simulate low altitudes and high altitudes. As pressure increases, the content of oxygen in the air is increased—air is ‘thicker’. As pressure decreases, the content of oxygen in the air is diminished—air is ‘thinner.’
For decades, some World-class athletes have embraced high-altitude adaptation into their training to improve their performance. The CVAC™ technology was shown through a scientific study performed with athletes to significantly improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of study subjects’ blood, and to provide significant adaptation to high altitude in four weeks of use. (Wilderness and Environmental Medicine, 20, 26 32 (2009).
High-altitude acclimatization and training have been used by world-class athletes for decades. While high-altitude adaptation can be assumed as part of the CVAC™ process, the benefits achieved by individuals using CVAC™ go beyond the benefits of high-altitude training. CVAC™ sessions are customized to the user to optimize fitness benefits gained.
Individuals ranging from elderly adults to champion athletes use CVAC™ to enhance their fitness and increase their endurance; these users report a number of benefits, including:
- Improved stamina
- Accelerated weight loss
- Reduced inflammation and swelling
- Improved recovery after exertion
- Improved physical endurance
- Enhanced athletic performance
- Improved hormonal balance
- Increased power and strength
