We are a UK-based global leader in the design and provision of state-of-the-art altitude and environmental facilities, offering the unique benefits of hypoxia in the convenience of a hotel, training facility or home. Sporting Edge is the supplier of choice for simulated altitude and environmental facilities, providing systems to sports science universities and elite athlete facilities in the UK and other countries. Sporting Edge pioneered the technology for precise and simultaneous control of oxygen, temperature and humidity and continues to set the standard for training and rehabilitation environments requiring superb control, total safety and unequalled reliability. Our professional range has now been augmented with a new range of simulated altitude equipment for individual use that once again moves the goalposts on performance and value for money.

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is an increasingly popular ‘live low, train high’ (LLTH) approach. It allows athletes to live at or near sea level but undergo training sessions under hypoxic conditions simulating higher altitudes (~2500–3850 m). This method minimises travel, reduces expense, and causes negligible disruption to an athlete’s daily life compared to traditional altitude residency.

Research proves that ‘Live Low, Train High’ isn’t just for endurance anymore. For well-trained athletes looking to shave seconds off sprint times and boost anaerobic capacity, IHT is the ultimate protocol.

Well-trained athletes can achieve significant gains in 30-second sprint performance by incorporating normobaric hypoxia into their routine. Unlike traditional altitude stays, this protocol allows athletes to maintain their sea-level lifestyle and recovery, while reaping the physiological benefits of training in hypoxia.

Enhanced glycolysis: Research suggests a metabolic shift toward carbohydrate utilisation, a more efficient fuel source for high-intensity bursts.

Erythropoietic response: Substantial increases in hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were observed within 48 hours post-intervention, suggesting a temporary boost in the blood’s oxygen-carrying capacity.

Improved muscle efficiency: Evidence points toward reduced oxygen cost during exercise – meaning athletes can go harder for longer on the same amount of fuel.

This is the Cime de la Bonette in the French Alps. It's about as high as you can get on a road bike in Europe at 2802m. Traditional altitude training would recommend spending at least 3 weeks above 2000m. Only a handful of locations make this possible in Europe, and for most people it's not practical or financially viable.

The Cloud9 system enables you to harness the physiological benefits of altitude at home, with oxygen levels simulating 2700m–4000m. Paired with our science-backed training protocols to get the best from your training, you will start to see results in as little as 4 weeks. And the best thing is, you can have access to it any time, all year round, at the touch of a button.

In elite sport, fractions of a second and the ability to repeat explosive bursts late in a game separate champions from runners-up. Traditional altitude training targets endurance by building red blood cells, but it takes weeks and can blunt raw power.

By performing all-out sprints in a simulated altitude environment, you aren’t trying to change your blood – you are fundamentally upgrading your muscle machinery to give you:

Better muscle oxygenation
Faster recovery
Muscle fibre efficiency
Lactate clearance

RSH is the ultimate conditioning protocol for power and team-sport athletes. It provides the depth of a grueling endurance block, wrapped in a high-velocity package that keeps athletes fast, explosive, and biologically immune to late-game fatigue.

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is a very effective training method for athletes who are short on time. Exercising while breathing low oxygen air forces our muscles to adapt and use the available oxygen more efficiently. Just two to three 1-hour sessions per week can offer huge fitness benefits for endurance athletes. The Cloud9 system makes these sessions even more convenient, by bringing hypoxic training to your home.

A hypoxic environment is one with a lower level of oxygen than we have at sea level, such as a high altitude location, or an altitude chamber. It puts extra stress on the body, forcing physiological adaptations to make it more efficient at using oxygen.

By training at a high intensity in hypoxia, athletes can stimulate peripheral muscle adaptations that are not triggered by sea-level training alone, even when the total training load is identical.

If you've reached a fitness plateau, Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is the stimulus to help you break through it and maximise your performance at sea level.

An altitude room is the ultimate gym upgrade! Training in a hypoxic (low oxygen) environment has many physiological benefits and is an extremely time efficient training method. See similar results in half the time!

Sporting Edge can convert any room, with our state-of-the-art hypoxic systems.

When using the Cloud9 system for Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT), it's important to monitor your blood oxygen saturation (SPO2) using a pulse oximeter. The Cloud9 comes with one built in, but you could use a wireless one if you prefer.

Both the altitude and the intensity of your intervals will have an effect on your SPO2, so increasing either of these will reduce your SPO2.

The key to unlocking IHT's full benefits is hitting and maintaining a target blood oxygen saturation range of 75% to 85% for short intervals. This level triggers a number of performance adaptations, without entering unsafe territory. Above 85% and the hypoxic stress is too mild, below 75% raises the risk profile without yielding any further gains.

Intermittent Hypoxic Training (IHT) is a powerful tool for all types of athlete. By breathing air with reduced oxygen levels in short bursts, you trigger some incredible physiological adaptations without ever leaving sea level.

The Cloud9 system simulates oxygen levels between 2700m and 4000m altitude, so you can achieve these amazing benefits at the push of a button, at home, all year round.

Cyclists, runners, triathletes, footballers, rowers, boxers, mountaineers, cross country skiers…in fact any sport requiring endurance or repeat sprint ability can benefit from a Cloud9 protocol.
