Training Mask Clinical Studies FAQs

Training Mask Clinical Date from Mayo Clinic

  • MR group had larger gains at submaximal exercise (30W)
  • More efficient at breathing
  • Lower HR
  • Lower Q
  • MR group maintained pre-treatment tidal volume, while NR decreased tidal volume at submaximal exercise (30W)
  • MR group also decreased RR
  • Both groups demonstrated increases in VO2 max 
  • Both groups had no change in resting spirometry (FVC, SVC and MVV)

Full Clinical Study

Training Mask Clincail Data from UNT (University of North Texas)

Our findings suggest that wearing an ETM (altitude resistance, 1829 m) during high intensity cycling (70% of VO2peak) induces modest hypoxemia. Although this device does not affect HRV changes during cycling, it seems delay the cardiac-autonomic recovery from exercise. Based on this study, healthy adults may be able to develop the ETM-utilized exercise program to simulate hypoxic environment but future studies are needed whether repeated exposure of this condition provide the similar benefits of altitude training in healthy adults.

UNT Full Clinical Study

Clinical Data from (International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)

The present study sought to apply a novel approach to experimentally investigate the efficacy of employing ETMs as part of an 8-week HIIT program. The results show that ETM use led to a range of significant improvements in hematological indicators and pulmonary function, VO2 peak, peak power output (PPO), cardiorespiratory fitness, lung function, and hematological variables in young, male, Saudi athletes. Training using ETMs at appropriate resistive breathing levels appears to be a safe and cost-effective way of enhancing performance in healthy athletes without costly altitude training. Further investigations are encouraged to interpret the physiological changes produced by ETM-assisted HIIT programs
