We installed a new LiveO2 Adaptive Contrast system that allows users to alternate between an oxygen rich and oxygen poor environment while using Vasper. Switching between these two modes provides high altitude training, optimizes health, fights fatigue, and improves respiratory, immune and brain function.
EWOT was originally developed in the late 1960s by Dr. Manfred von Ardenne, a physicist who used it with cancer patients. The goal was to support the function of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems by providing a rich supply of oxygen.
It is also known as Multistep Oxygen Therapy. Over the years, it has been adapted as a method of training intended to increase oxygen absorption by providing the user with a constant flow of oxygen during a workout.
When done correctly, EWOT can deliver results with as little as 15 minutes of treatment a few times per week.
For Patients with Respiratory Illnesses
EWOT allows patients all the benefits of exercise without increased stress on the heart or lungs.
A unique feature of Live02 is its adaptive contrast technology, which allows users to exercise on Vasper in oxygen depleted air, simulating a 10,000 foot altitude.
ALTITUDE TRAINING
Studies on athletes have shown the following results of altitude training:
- Up to a 25% more efficient work out than at sea level
- Up to 37% more endurance
- Up to 15% more weight loss
- Up to 9% more strength
- Up to 3% more power and speed
ALTITUDE SICKNESS
If you are prone to altitude sickness, a trip to the mountains can bring on familiar symptoms of headache, dizziness, fatigue, trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and shortness of breath. In just 8-10 sessions, you can be ready to ski or backpack from day one!
Benefits of EWOT
- Decreased inflammation
- Decreased blood pressure
- Improved immunity
- Improved energy levels
- Improved exercise tolerance, stamina and performance
- Improved metabolism
- Improved alkalinity
- Improvement in symptoms of COPD, cancer, heart disease and brain injury
- Improved metabolism
- Anti-aging effects
The use of oxygen therapy during exercise has already been shown to improve exercise tolerance and stamina in COPD patients.
After EWOT, you’ll find yourself invigorated, renewed and clear-headed. For acute therapy, multiple EWOT sessions are employed for a short period of time. Alternatively, EWOT can be used over a long period of time with intermittent treatments to manage chronic conditions like stress or illness.
