Opsys is a world leader in simulated altitude systems that create the reduced oxygen environments found at altitude, but without any of the adverse pressure effects. Ever mounting scientific evidence indicates that both sleeping and training in reduced oxygen atmospheres delivers significant benefits in aerobic efficiency and cardiovascular performance.

Simulated Altitude Training (SAT) has been utilised for many years by the world’s top sporting professionals, and Opsys SAT systems provide:

• Improved pulmonary efficiency
• Increased oxygen carrying capacity in the blood
• Increased exercise tolerance
• Faster recovery

These translate directly into improved performance, increased work capacity and faster recovery, with benefits in aerobic and anaerobic fuelled activities.

Ordinary air contains approximately 21% oxygen, while air in a typical Opsys-enhanced environment can be precisely controlled down to 13% - a simulated altitude of 3,800m (12,500 feet). Where required, an ‘Extreme’ option is available, with appropriate safeguards against unauthorised use, that will achieve 9% - equivalent to 6,500m (21,500 feet).

Opsys have developed unequalled technology, which, when combined with their specialist knowledge of training regimes and protocols, provides the ultimate SAT experience, and the maximum performance improvement.

Opsys also has unrivalled expertise in providing guidance and training on the current usage of its systems towards maximum physical benefit, as used by some of the world’s leading sports organisations.
