O2TRAINER SCIENCE

PLEASE READ PUBLISHED MEDICAL JOURNALS FOR AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT THE O2TRAINER:

The O2Trainer is not a gimmick and it's not magic, it is a tool designed to train your lungs and strengthen your breathing through resistance. Corporate Wellness Clinics all over the country recommend some form of breathing exercise and there is an abundance of evidence supporting the importance of proper breathing. The O2Trainer was created to enable everyone to gain the benefits of better breathing.

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Improvement

Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) Improvement

This graph shows average values for a measure of lung capacity referred to as forced vital capacity (FVC). As noted, FVC increased from pre to post after use of the O2Trainer.

Hematocrit (HCT) Increase

Hematocrit (HCT) Increase

This graph shows the percent (%) of red blood cells in blood volume noted as hematocrit (HCT). As the graph indicates, pre to post values increase in HCT after use of the O2Trainer.

Clinical Research Results

Study: Nine (9) highly trained collegiate cross-country females participated. Five (5) were assigned as "experimental" indicating they would use the O2Trainer developed by Bas Rutten. The designated use of the device was 3 days per week during 5 kilometers of running.

NOTE: all the subjects stated that the device was NOT a hindrance to their training.

According to research done by the Rice University of Houston, altitude training has the following long term effects:

  • Increased concentration of red blood cells
  • Decreased maximum cardiac output with a decreased maximum heart rate, doing the same amount of work
  • Red blood cells become more efficient at unloading oxygen to the tissues
ALL THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE TEST WHO USED AN O2TRAINER INCREASED THEIR VENTILATORY MUSCLES AND IMPROVED THEIR VOLUME OF AIR THEY COULD VENTILATE.
