What is hypoxic exercise.
1: What is hypoxic exercise.
It can effectively reduce the supply of oxygen to the human body. During the exercise process, the body's gradually reduced oxygen is equal to the demand, and introverted physical exercise to achieve a physiological balance is a hypoxic exercise. In short, physical exercise that can effectively reduce oxygen intake is hypoxic exercise.
Remember, hypoxic exercise must be physical exercise that can effectively reduce oxygen intake.
Otherwise, a dime is money and a million is money, but the impact on the quality of life is huge. A decrease in oxygen uptake by one degree is also a decrease, and a decrease in oxygen uptake by hundreds of thousands of degrees is also a decrease. However, if the decrease is greater, the health effects will be very different.
So, in short, only exercises that can enter an ultra-hypoxic state can effectively reduce oxygen uptake and are hypoxic exercises.
What is ultra-hypoxic state? Breathing at least once every three minutes and maintaining it for at least 30 minutes is a primary state of ultra-hypoxia. Breathing once for more than 5 minutes and maintaining it for more than 30 minutes is an intermediate ultra-hypoxic state. Breathing once for more than 10 minutes and maintaining it for more than 30 minutes is an advanced ultra-hypoxic state.
There are two definitions of hypoxic exercise. (1) Exercise in a hypoxic chamber, hypoxic chamber, plateau hypoxia, or wearing an oxygen-blocking mask, etc., is a hypoxic exercise. Aerobic exercise.
(2) Physical exercise that can effectively reduce oxygen intake is hypoxic exercise.
If we compare the definition of aerobic exercise, the second explanation is consistent with the essence of hypoxic exercise.
That is, aerobic exercise essentially refers to physical exercise that can actively increase oxygen uptake. That is, during exercise, the human body inhales increased oxygen equal to its demand and reaches a physiological balance state.
The essence of hypoxic exercise must be physical exercise that can actively reduce oxygen uptake. That is, during exercise, the body's gradually reduced oxygen supply is equal to its demand, reaching a physiological balance state.
Although it can also be called hypoxic exercise when exercising in a hypoxic environment, it only increases the difficulty of exercise. In fact, it still needs to increase oxygen uptake, and it is still training the oxygen uptake capacity. The essence is still the same. Aerobic exercise. Therefore, if the essence of aerobic exercise is to increase oxygen uptake and exercise aerobic capacity, then it would be more consistent with the essence of things to define hypoxic exercise in terms of reducing oxygen uptake and exercising hypoxic capacity. Exercising in a hypoxic environment is not hypoxic exercise in the true sense.
There are all kinds of sports in the world, such as running, swimming, yoga, aerobics, tapping, square dancing, meditation, Qigong, sitting, etc., but in essence, all sports can only be divided into two categories: one is aerobic to increase oxygen uptake. Exercise, one type is hypoxic exercise that reduces oxygen uptake. Any kind of physical exercise is either aerobic exercise or hypoxic exercise and nothing else.
A lifetime depends on oxygen. Oxygen plays a vital role in healthy lifespan. The oxidation and loss of activity of the microscopic tissues of the body's cells is an important or fundamental cause of human aging and death. The most effective and practical way to protect health must be antioxidant.
Theoretically, there are many factors that determine health and lifespan, and antioxidants are only one of them. However, we must clearly realize that in practice, the only thing we, the general public, can do at present is antioxidants. Oxidation.
Life is inseparable from oxygen, but oxygen uptake can be more or less, can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, and can be actively adjusted through exercise. Aerobic exercise can increase oxygen uptake and enter an oxygen-rich state, allowing people to gain strength. Hypoxic exercise can reduce oxygen uptake and enter an ultra-low oxygen state, promoting human health.
Concerning health and wellness, hypoxic exercise has the following five advantages.
1: The intensity of exercise is low, but the intensity of health care is high. Compared with excessive aerobic exercise, hypoxic exercise can lead to longevity if it is low in oxygen. Excessive exercise is more beneficial. It can ensure the intensity of health care, and the exercise intensity is not high, saving energy.
2: Anti-entropy increase, anti-oxidation. Human beings live against the law of entropy increase, and life depends on negative entropy. Aerobic exercise increases oxygen uptake, promotes the increase of oxygen free radicals, and is an entropy-increasing exercise. Hypoxic exercise reduces oxygen uptake, reduces oxygen free radicals, and can resist oxidation, and is an entropy-decreasing exercise.
3: Balanced exercise to make up for shortcomings.
Success lies in leveraging strengths, and life lies in making up for shortcomings. Logically speaking, life is not about movement, stillness, low oxygen, clean water, or food. Life is only about shortcomings. If people want to live a healthy life, they cannot do without the support of various factors, but the shortest link among them must be what determines the life span of the human body. Compared with aerobic exercise, or compared with various achievable factors such as food supplements, medicines, and other achievable factors, what people lack most is hypoxic exercise. This is the shortcoming of everyone, you and me, and it can be achieved and supplemented. But there are no shortcomings to make up for. Aerobic exercise is continuous all day long, even if you don't practice it deliberately, but hypoxic exercise is rare, and it doesn't happen if you don't practice it deliberately. Exercising hypoxic exercise is exactly the shortest piece of our life span.
4: Can develop physiological habits. Hypoxic exercise can develop physiological habits that can occur once and for all automatically. Aerobic exercise requires active exercise every day in order to enter the oxygen-rich state. However, through continuous exercise in the early stage, hypoxic exercise can enter and enter the ultra-low oxygen state many times, and you can develop physiological habits and automatically enter the ultra-low oxygen state during sleep. oxygen status.
5: Safe and pleasant, wide adaptability. The purpose of hypoxic exercise is to enter a state of ultra-low oxygen. In terms of physical exercise, the movements are simple and low-intensity, and its universality is far superior to various aerobic exercises. After entering the ultra-hypoxic state, the more you practice, the more comfortable and comfortable you become; while after entering the oxygen-rich state, the more you practice, the more painful and uncomfortable you will be.
There are 5 cognitive points in hypoxic exercise,
1: Sitting and standing are wrong, the only way is to lie down. To enter the ultra-hypoxic state, you must lie down. You cannot enter the ultra-hypoxic state even when sitting or standing.
2: Hypoxia is not hypoxia. Hypoxia means that there is enough and there is no need; hypoxia means that what is needed is not available. Exercising hypoxic exercise can lead to an ultra-hypoxic state, but in an ultra-hypoxic state, the human body does not lack oxygen.
3: The essence of Qigong is hypoxic exercise. Only methods that can effectively reduce oxygen uptake and enter an ultra-hypoxic state are Qigong.
4: The root cause of insomnia is a decrease in hypoxic capacity. Exercising hypoxic exercise and improving sample extraction ability are the fundamental ways to improve sleep quality and solve all kinds of insomnia.
5: Hypoxic exercise is state-separated, that is, the ultra-hypoxic state does not appear during exercise, and the state must be separated from exercise to appear. Aerobic exercise is a combination of techniques, that is, the oxygen-rich state must appear during exercise, and the state cannot be separated from exercise.
