What is interrupted hypoxia?

intermittent hypoxia, often more often referred to as sleep apnea, is a condition where the human body is temporarily deprived of adequate oxygen supply to the blood. The causes of hypoxia may vary and may be present in children and adults. Some athletes and climbers also deliberately use the experience of deprivation of oxygen at high altitudes to improve their performance near the sea level, called interrupted hypoxic training (IHT). If interrupted hypoxia is uncontrolled and prolonged condition, it is known to lead to impaired mental functioning and behavior, such as a reduction in academic performance in children and causing cardiovascular effects in adults, including increasing blood pressure and possible changes in normal heart rate. Several hours of activity where oxygen is supplied during sleep. During this occurrence, there are time periods of normal breathing and oxygen intake known as normoxy. While in most cases sleep apnea has been observed an increase in normal levelsBlood pressure, heart rate does not change as with more lengthy chronic hypoxia. Symptoms of hypoxia may therefore be difficult to perceive for individuals who sleep alone, because most of these individuals are not aware of the interrupted hypoxia of the event after awakening.

Control of hypoxia, when it occurs during sleep, involves conditioning patients who slept on their side or in other positions where the tongue is less likely to block the airways while sleeping. Part of the treatment is also discouraging the use of drugs for alcohol and sleep because they tend to relax too much cervical muscles. More intensive types of behavioral therapy cases and other options, such as surgery on the neck or use a mouthpiece that holds open airways during sleep, known as oral therapy equipment (oats), are also possible to solve the problem.

intermitThe unique hypoxic training has been examined by Russian scientists since its advantages were first discovered. It has been shown that the digestion of time at high altitudes before returning to life near the sea level improves the overall health of ordinary people and can be a significant contribution to the treatment of several types of chronic diseases. India also documented a lower incidence of diseases in populations that spent time at an altitude between 12,113 and 18,169 feet (3,692 to 5,538 meters) compared to populations at lower levels of experience with more than 130,000 Indian army soldiers. Bacterial infections, cases of diabetes and psychiatric diseases were significantly lower in the group, while they lived on an increased altitude.

Another research of the nations of Japan, the US, Australia and Germany into intermittent effects of hypoxia in 1990 led to the integration of athletic educational programs. This included the use of the process of the Australian swimming team for the 2000 Olympics. It is assumed that such conditionalIt directly improves the natural efficiency of the body to use oxygen. One health condition for which intermittent hypoxia is closely bound to the use of oxygen, such as the use of athletic procedure, is chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). It has been shown that IHT significantly improves CFS oxygen efficiency after acclimatizing their bodies to a concentration level of 11% oxygen, where the overall IHT effect is to reduce the need for oxygen by an average of about 20%.
