For more than a decade, elite athletes have been “living high, training low” to maximize their performance. This strategy, which entails sleeping at altitude and then working out at sea level (or as close to it as possible) improves endurance. Sleeping at altitude also benefits those who want to lose weight or at least improve their aerobic fitness in general.
For most people across the country, the easiest way to “live high,” or sleep at altitude, is with elevation tents. Comprising a tent and a low-oxygen air generator, the system simulates sustained exposure to hypoxia. This, in turn, reduces the body’s blood oxygen level to below 94%, which triggers the production of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Consequently, they experience increased stamina, more endurance, and a higher VO2 max.
Of course, before you can reap all these benefits, you’ve got to choose between altitude tents, and narrowing down the options can pose a challenge. There are several systems on the market today, and they have many of the same features. One system stands out from the rest, though, and it’s from Mountain Air Cardio. Here are some of the biggest reasons why elevation tents from Mountain Air Cardio are the best:
1. Continuous Ventilation
The MountainAir® elevation tent system is the only one on the market that is continuously ventilated. The side of the tent is equipped with a fan, which provides a steady stream of ambient air to create a cooler, less humid environment. This ensures better sleep quality. Competitors’ altitude tents, on the other hand, are totally sealed, which results in large temperature, humidity, and CO2 spikes.
2. Environmental Sensors
Unlike other tents, the MountainAir® system has environmental sensors that allow users to program precise settings. Conditions are then monitored continuously and adjusted as needed to ensure the simulated altitude remains steady throughout the night. These sensors are especially important during the acclimatization phase, when users need to be wary of going too high too fast.
3. Companion App
The MountainAir® system is the only one that has a corresponding app for controlling and recording the tent’s performance. Updated on a minute-by-minute basis with the current conditions, including fan speed, humidity, temperature, and altitude, the app saves historical data for two weeks. It also tracks maintenance, so users will receive convenient reminders when their system is due for attention.
4. In-Line Silencer
Altitude tents are notorious for being loud. Even the lightest sleepers don’t need earplugs with the MountainAir® system, though. The tent has an in-line silencer, which prevents the sound of the air unit from traveling down the hose and into the tent. This allows for a more restful night’s sleep, so users wake up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the day.
