Athletic chamber for up to 4 athletes at Sport Singapore
Presenting QRA's athletic chamber with control of the following parameters listed below :
a) Temperature
b) Humidity
c) Sunlight
d) CO2 removal
e) Altitude
f) Rain
QRA is only one of four worldwide manufacturers or system integrators of athletic chambers for enhancement of elite sportsmen. There are numerous studies showing that the Live HIgh Train Low and High program has its benefits on sports performance. (LHTLTH).
The basic concept of altitude training is such :
> At sea level (or 20.9% O2), the average person consumes O2 and his VO2 max helps convert the oxygen together with the ATP (produced from mitochondria in our red blood cells) into energy to produce work.
> Within each cubic centimeter of blood, there is (for example) 10 buckets of haemoglobin which carry the O2 to the various parts and these are functioning well. So if there are 10 buckets and O2 at 20.9% is considered as 1 unit, then the work done is 10. Or 10 x 1.
> At higher levels, where the air is thinner (at base camp Mt Everest at 5000 m), the O2 is something like 16.5 % or 2/3rd the O2 level at sea level. Logically speaking the person who has 10 buckets of haemoglobin will then function at 10 x 0.67 or 6.67. Hence every step he takes is only at 2/3rd the energy since O2 is crucial for the work to be done by the human body.
> With controlled environment, where the athlete (or person) is sleeping at 16.5 % for up to 2 weeks, he will amazingly produce (if that is the right word) more haemoglobin buckets to compensate for the low 02. So with adequate sleep and activity at the higher altitude (we call it acclimatization), our bodies will eventually create up to 15 buckets of haemoglobin, so as to produce 10 output. 15 x 0.7 is 10 at higher altitude.
> The sleep rooms at high altitude (Sports Singapore has the facility) produce these environments for sleep and daily activity, so after roughly 2 weeks, the athletes would have 15 buckets of haemoglobin.
> Now if they were to train or run races at 20.9%, their output work done will now be 15 x 10 or 15 which is 50 % more than what they were previously.
> This means a tremendous improvement in performance, sportsmen will actually run faster, and produce a lot more energy especially at races or high level games like football, basketball tennis, the list is endless.
> Imagine running 30% faster than your opponent who once was as fast as you !
> You would be able to reach the ball quicker, your reaction time would be faster and you would score many more goals than any other ordinary player. Its a dream ?
Why dream ?
The reality is here.
