IMPROVES RESPIRATORY COMPENSATION THRESHOLD (RCT)
RCT is the boundary between high intensity activity and severe intensity exertion. Under normal conditions the bodies drive to breathe is based on carbon dioxide levels in the blood. When RCT is reached, the bodies drive to breathe is driven by lactate levels. This causes very heavy respiration and signifies a transition point in which fatigue starts to overcome the body’s ability to sustain exercise intensity. TrainingMask® increases RCT which allows the body to generate incrementally more effort before the point of exhaustion is reached.

IMPROVES VENTILATORY THRESHOLD
Ventilatory Threshold is the point during an activity in which breathing volume becomes insufficient to meet the oxygen demands of the body during exertion. TrainingMask® has been shown to increase Ventilatory Threshold giving you access to more activity capacity during exertion.

INCREASE POWER OUTPUT AT VENTILATORY THRESHOLD
Under normal conditions if you need more oxygen, you can breathe harder to get more to the working muscles. VT (Ventilatory Threshold) is the juncture during a workout breathing can no longer match the oxygen demands of the body during exertion. TrainingMask has been shown to increase the amount of power you can produce while at VT keeping you stronger for longer.

STRENGTH TRAINING UNDER HYPOXIC CONDITIONS SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES SERUM GROWTH HORMONE LEVELS
Serum growth hormone concentrations after exercise were significantly higher in the hypoxic group than in the normoxic group on both the first and last training sessions. These findings suggest that hypoxic resistance training elicits more muscle hypertrophy associated with a higher growth hormone secretion.

INCREASES POWER OUTPUT AT RESPIRATORY COMPENSATION THRESHOLD (RCT)
The respiratory compensation threshold (RCT) is the stage of high intensity exertion where minute ventilation (the air that can be inhaled and exhaled in 60 seconds) starts becoming excessive with respect to carbon dioxide output. RCT is the boundary between high intensity exertion and severe intensity effort. TrainingMask® increases the amount of cardiorespiratory power the body can produce while at RCT.

Introduction: Heart failure (HF)
is associated with limited blood flow reserve due to reduced cardiac output (Q).
HF is also associated with generalized respiratory muscle weakness, despite patients
being exposed to an increased work and cost of breathing due primarily to
increased flow resistive work from an altered breathing pattern. We
hypothesized that the use of a respiratory training device during aerobic
exercise training would positively impact patients with HF by training the
inspiratory muscles and modifying their respiratory response to exercise.Methods: 15
subjects completed all study visits (age 67.5±10.0 yr, Ht 179.3±6.1cm, BMI 28.8±5.7
m/cm2). Patients diagnosed with systolic HF and currently enrolled
in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) completed the Minnesota living with heart
failure questionnaire (MLHFQ), pulmonary function testing, and measures during
exercise that included Q (soluble gas method), ventilation (VE) and
respiratory gas exchange. Measures were made at baseline and after completion
of CR. Participants were randomized to no respiratory resistance (NR) or mild-moderate
inspiratory resistance (MR, 15 to 20 cmH2O) provided by a
respiratory resistance mask (Training Mask Co., Cadillac, Michigan 49601) worn
during aerobic portions of CR.Results: Participants
completed on average 24±3 CR sessions with 10 subjects in the MR
group and 5 in the NR group. The MR group had a decrease on the MLHFQ score of
19.9±26.9 and the NR group had a decrease of 6.0±23.4 (p=0.330). At a matched workload
of 30 Watts (W), VE declined by 4.0±7.0 L/min and increased by 2.2±13.1
L/min for subjects in the MR and NR groups, respectively (p=0.06). Respiratory
rate (RR) decreased in MR by 1.2± 4.9 and decreased in NR by 0.67± 5.9. HR at
30W decreased in both groups (p=0.036) with no difference between groups, VE/VCO2
decreased by 10.4±12.4 and 3.9±8.9 in the MR and NR groups respectively. Stroke
volume (SV) at 30W tended to increase for both MR and NR (p>0.05, no
difference between groups).Conclusion:
The addition of moderate inspiratory resistance to the aerobic training during
CR was well tolerated by HF patients and preliminarily suggests trends toward
improved ventilatory responses when assessed during submaximal exercise.
