Oxygen Conditioning: A New Technique for Improving Living and Working at High Altitude.

Large numbers of people visit, work, or reside at high altitude. The inevitable hypoxia reduces physical performance and, in many instances, impairs neuropsychological function. The new technique of oxygen conditioning raises the oxygen concentration in the air of buildings such as homes, schools, and hospitals. The result is to decrease the equivalent altitude and improve both physical and cognitive performance. ©2016 Int. Union Physiol. Sci./Am. Physiol. Soc.
