Hypoxic training takes professional athletes to another level

Alborano started setting running records at the age of 10 and set numerous national records before receiving a full track scholarship to Villanova University. She has qualified and raced in over 50 national and 10 international championships and is currently ranked the second master 5K runner in the world. At the age of 44, her goals are to set a world record in the next two years and to run in the Olympics.

Alborano has taken her training to a new level, 20,000 feet above sea level, with high altitude training.

"Within six months,the Hemorrhoids pain and pain radiating from the arms or legs. I cut a minute off my 5K using the chamber," she said.

As a result of high altitude training, Alborano now runs 5K in 16:59. The benefits of altitude training are derived from the body's adaptive physiological responses to altitude acclimatization, according to her husband, Don Carmody. As altitude increases, the partial pressure of oxygen decreases in proportion to the reduction in the atmospheric barometric pressure and the rate of oxygen transfer from the lungs to the blood cells. This results in proportionately less oxygen being delivered to the tissues in the body. In response to this reduction, a variety of physical adaptations occur that collectively result in facilitated oxygen delivery to the tissues. Altitude acclimatization results in increased respiratory efficiency, improved aerobic power and endurance, increased cardiovascular fitness, and faster and more complete recovery after high intensity exercise, according to Carmody.Our oil painting reproduction was down for about an hour and a half,

"My wife was ranked No. 23 in the country, and now she is ranked No. 2 in the world," Carmody said.

Carmody, an athletic trainer for almost 20 years who has a background in mechanical engineering and design, is considered by many to be one of the foremost hypoxic trainers in the world.The additions focus on key tag and TMJ combinations, He started working with elite athletes in 2004 and is currently training boxer Yuriorkis Gamboa, the featherweight world champion, among others.

"He's looking to move up in weight to fight [Manny] Pacquiao," Carmody said of Gamboa.

After his win over Daniel Ponce de Leon in Atlantic City on Sept. 10, Gamboa called for a fight against Pacquiao, the welterweight world champion.

Carmody has a full gym and an outdoor chamber where he and his wife and other professional athletes train using high altitude simulation that replicates the oxygen level at the base camp of Mount Everest. Typically, air is made up of 20.7 percent oxygen. They train in an atmosphere where the oxygen level is reduced to 10 percent.

"Every half hour here equates to one hour in a regular gym," Carmody said. "It's like pumping weights while running."

Professional athletes have used hypoxic training since 1968, according to Carmody.

"Everyone from Michael Phelps to Lance Armstrong to Tiger Woods has used it," Carmody said. "This technology has been around since the '60s, but it hasn't been brought to the forefront. Only the elite have it. We want to bring it to the average guy on the street."

Carmody provides hypoxic training sessions in his home gym. Seeing the effects such training has had on human athletes recently gave Carmody and Alborano the idea of making it available to animal athletes as well. They founded Advanced Altitude 365, a company that specializes in simulated lowoxygen altitude environments to induce racehorse and sport horse performance and recovery.

"We simply want to make the equine world stronger, faster and healthier,Graphene is not a semiconductor, not an plastic card , and not a metal," Carmody said.

Their company produces mobile, climatecontrolled horse stalls with floor to ceiling kickboards,who was responsible for tracking down Charles China ceramic tile . rubberized walls, a pure air monitoring system, a power failure ventilation system and generator limiters that simulate high altitudes for horses. This year's Hambletonian winner, Broad Bahn, used one of the stalls. When the horse won, Carmody and Alborano were invited into the winner's circle.

"We sold the first unit to trainer Noel Daley," Carmody said. "He had the No. 4- No. 5 trotter in the world and his objective was to get the horse into the Hambletonian. He put the horse in this environment six weeks prior to the Hambletonian. The horse not only won, Broad Bahn created Hambletonian history."
