altitude tent : ウィキペディア英語版 | altitude tent
An altitude tent is a sealed tent used to simulate a higher altitude with reduced oxygen. The basic concept of living or training at altitude is to cause the body to adapt to the lower oxygen content by producing more oxygen-carrying red blood cells and hemoglobin. Training or spending time at a higher altitude will cause the body to adapt to the higher altitude and provide enhanced performance when returning to a lower altitude. Mountain climbers can use them to avoid altitude sickness, and athletes can use them to enhance performance at lower altitudes. ==History== Altitude tents were first designed and patented by Hypoxico, Inc.〔http://www.hypoxico.com/〕 in the mid 1990s. Since then, many different companies and designs have entered the market. The tents have quickly gained a following among elite athletes and are quickly becoming mainstream. Nowadays, tents are used by athletes of any age, in any sports discipline.
