Benefits of technology

The invention helps people who exercise by rearranging the way they breathe to give more oxygen to their muscles and less to their lungs. This makes them better at doing the exercise.

Problems solved by technology

Thus, the routine uses of oxygen in sports may be of little value.
This device, however, does not provide for low resistance positive airway pressure ventilation to train exercising muscles.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]The present invention provides methods of training to improve athletic performance in an individual. More particularly, in accordance with the invention, the individual breaths a low-density gas comprised of a mixture of helium and oxygen (HeO2) gas during and / or immediately after exercise training. The methods of the present invention are suited for healthy individuals who wish to improve their exercise performance during exercise training.

[0021]As used herein, except where defined otherwise, the phrase “exercising muscles” is meant to refer to those muscles involved in athletic training other than respiratory muscles required for breathing.

[0022]As used herein, the term “inspiration” is interchangeable with the term “inhalation;” the term “expiration” is interchangeable with the term “exhalation.”

[0023]In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, there is provided a method of exercise training to improve exercise performance in an individual 10 comprising b...

Abstract

The present invention provides methods for exercise training to improve exercise performance in an individual using low-resistance positive airway pressure and specialized gas mixtures during or immediately after exercise. The methods include wearing an interface, i.e. mask, connected by a tubing circuit to a positive airway pressure (PAP) assist ventilator device. The PAP device is connected to flexible tubing connected through a pressure regulator to a liquid gas source which supplies the gas mixture. Optionally, a gas impermeable bag or vessel is connected to both the PAP device and the liquid gas source to receive, store and condition gas(ses) that is delivered to the PAP device from the liquid gas source. The methods also include simulating high altitude exercise training by using the PAP device with a hypoxic level of oxygen in the gas mixture. The methods of the present invention reallocate oxygen between muscle groups, improve oxygen delivery to muscles, improve oxygen utilization by muscles reduce fatigue, lessen episodes of dyspnea, improve conditioning levels and overall improve training to extreme levels of performance.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part application and claims priority to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 154,933 filed Jun. 7, 2011 entitled METHOD FOR ENHANCING TRAINING EFFECTIVENESS.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to exercise training and, in particular, a method for reallocating oxygen consumption load between various muscle groups, and organ systems within the human body to improve exercise effectiveness, more particularly through the use of, optionally multiple, oxygen load shifting strategies during the course of training to extreme exertion approaching the safe limits of human exertion and / or performance.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Most commonly oxygen supplementation is used in medicine, which often employs helium and oxygen gas mixtures. Oxygen supplementation involving the use of pure oxygen is routinely used in sports, typically after an individual has undergone physical exertion during a...
