Intermittent Hypoxia Training (IHT) for Health and Performance

What is IHT? Intermittent Hypoxia Training (IHT) is an innovative method that promotes health and well-being through controlled alternations between low and normal oxygen concentrations. Inspired by altitude training for athletes, first explored at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico, IHT utilizes these principles to improve cellular function. The method, awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2019, stimulates the rejuvenation and densification of mitochondria, leading to improved oxygen supply to cells and enhanced performance.
How does IHT work? With IHT, you alternately breathe air with reduced and normal or increased oxygen content through a special mask connected to a device. During the hypoxia phases, the oxygen content is lowered to simulate high-altitude conditions, which improves red blood cell production and oxygen uptake. In the normoxia or hyperoxia phases, the oxygen content is increased to promote relaxation and regeneration. This interaction strengthens cell health, increases energy production, and accelerates recovery after exertion.

Benefits of IHT

  • Improved Energy Production: IHT stimulates the mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of the cells, enabling them to produce energy more efficiently. Increased mitochondrial activity leads to a better energy supply to cells and organs, resulting in an overall increased energy level and improved performance. This can be particularly beneficial for people with chronic fatigue or after intense physical activities.
  • Rejuvenation and Densification of Mitochondria: IHT promotes the formation of new, healthy mitochondria and accelerates the apoptosis (natural cell death) of weakened mitochondria. This leads to improved cellular function and can help slow down the signs of aging.
  • Strengthening the Immune System: IHT can stimulate the immune system and strengthen the body’s defenses, leading to better health and a lower risk of infections.
  • Faster Recovery: Athletes and people with high physical exertion benefit from improved regeneration, which is enabled by increased oxygen supply and improved mitochondrial function. This can lead to shorter recovery times and a faster return to optimal performance.
  • General Health Promotion: Due to the improved oxygen supply to cells, IHT has positive effects on all organs and organ systems. The therapy can strengthen the cardiovascular system, improve metabolism, and slow down the aging process.


Treatment of Long COVID IHT has also proven promising in the treatment of Long COVID, a condition characterized by persistent symptoms after a COVID-19 infection, such as fatigue, brain fog, and shortness of breath. By improving cellular energy production and supporting mitochondria, IHT can help alleviate these symptoms and improve the overall quality of life for those affected. How many sessions are required? The number of sessions can vary depending on individual goals and health condition. Typically, a series of 5 to 15 sessions is recommended, performed one to three times per week. Each session lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes. How does the patient feel afterward? Patients often report a feeling of deep relaxation and increased vitality after the sessions. Many feel more energetic and notice improved physical and mental performance. Through regular application of IHT, these positive effects can be sustainably enhanced.

Who can benefit from IHT?

  • Health-conscious individuals: To improve health and fitness and increase energy reserves.
  • Athletes: To enhance performance and shorten recovery times.
  • People with fatigue: To boost energy and slow down the aging process.
  • Individuals with Long COVID: To alleviate persistent symptoms and improve quality of life.
