Trivia

Altitude tents were first designed by Hypoxico, Inc. during the 1990s.

Altitude training is meant to boost up the endurance of athletes and enhance performance to make them habitual to harsh atmospheric conditions. The Altitude Tent helps in generating more oxygen-carrying blood cells as the oxygen density in the air at higher areas is less, which can cause breathing problems to athletes. Hence, to make their body adaptable to those conditions, altitude tents are used. An Altitude Tent resembles a sealed tent, used to help athletes reducing the effect of breath gasping. Since the invention of this equipment, the use of this equipment has become quite common among the athletes including cyclists, runners, cross-country skiers, mountain bikers, etc. belonging to various age groups.
