Exercise With Oxygen Therapy Adaptive Contrast Protocol
This protocol uses a combination of high oxygen (hyperoxic) and low oxygen (hypoxic) conditions in order to achieve improvements in VO2Max, stimulates the production of HGH and EPO, reduce visceral fat, and reduce inflammation.
HGH production is stimulated in the hyperoxic state while EPO production is stimulated in the hypoxic state.
WARNING: Always consult your healthcare professional before starting a new exercise or supplement program.

Protocol
Preparation
| Phase | Oxygen | Method | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warm Up | Hypoxic | Start at high altitude to warm up and target 60-70% of maxHR. Oxygen saturation drops at around 81% | 5 Minutes | Creates respiratory challenge and develops moderate O2 debt. |
| EPO | Hypoxic | Sprint to 90% - 95% of maxHR. | 1 Minute | Increase O2 debt |
| Oxygen Wash | Hyperoxic | Decrease pace to a comfortable level to recover 60% of maxHR and oxygen saturation back to 99% | 4 Minutes | Using the oxygen debt generated from the EPO phase to saturate the body with oxygen |
Sprint Intervals
Repeat 3-8 Times
| Phase | Oxygen | Method | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HGH/Sprint | Hypoxic | Sprint to target 90% - 100% of maxHR | 15 - 20 seconds | Sets the body into a hypoxic state which raises HR towards maximum. |
| HGH/Sprint | Hyperoxic | Continue sprint to maintain 90% - 100% of maxHR | 15 - 20 seconds | Saturates the body with oxygen and stimulates the release of HGH |
| Rest | Hyperoxic | Recover back to 60% of maxHR | 1 minute | Recovery |
Cooldown
| Phase | Oxygen | Method | Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cooldown | Hyperoxic | Maintain a comfortable pace and get BPM below 100bpm and 99% oxygen saturation | 5 minutes | Clear out lactate generated from sprint intervals. |
