Environmental chamber
Heat and altitude chamber services
Our environmental chamber services are designed to help you prepare for exercise in extreme environments. Athletes have traditionally used our chambers in the run-up to an event, to establish their tolerance and assist acclimation to heat or altitude.
We offer single sessions as well as discounts for block bookings.
Heat
Heat chamber services
Heat acclimation training is the artificial exposure to heat during exercise. Training in the heat increases body, core and skin temperature, induces sweating and increases skin blood flow. All of these responses stimulate physiological adaptations, which improve your tolerance to exercise in the heat and reduce the risk of heat illness. Heat acclimation training is performed by individuals preparing for an event in a warmer climate, such as the Marathon des Sables. It involves endurance exercise such as running or cycling for extended periods of around 60 minutes at intensities between 50 and 70 per cent of VO2max.
Sessions can be purchased individually or in blocks, with a discount provided for block bookings.
