Cognitive function can be significantly impacted by hypobaric hypoxia, a condition that occurs at high altitudes where the oxygen levels are lower than at sea level. This phenomenon is ...

Hypobaric chambers have long been used to improve physical fitness in high-performance sports (mountaineers, climbers, etc.) and in professional sectors (high-altitude mining, astronomical ...

The Environmental Medicine and Physiology Unit (EMPU) is the only civilian hyperbaric and hypobaric facility in Canada available to academic, industrial and government researchers. The facility ...

As altitude increases, the partial pressure of oxygen will decrease and cause hypobaric hypoxia conditions. During hypoxia, anaerobic glycolysis will be activated, which is facilitated by the ...
