Numerous experience reports from satisfied clients show that with HYPOXI a targeted fat decrease at problem areas is possible. A study by the Medical Prevention Centre of Hamburg (MPCH) in 2011 has officially confirmed the effectiveness of HYPOXI.
“The reduction of energy input and the increase of energy consumption through physical activity are the basis of weight reduction and weight control. Up until now, it could not be proven that any method systematically and preferentially reduced body fat in specific body areas”, explains Professor and Doctor Christoph M. Bamberger, Head of the Medical Prevention Centre of Hamburg (MPCH), at the beginning of the scientific study which now should prove whether the implementation of negative and positive pressure increases the fat reduction at problem zones. For this purpose the institute searched for volunteers. “Overweight and untrained persons between the ages of 30 to 50 years,” says Dr. Sabine Guth of the MPCH, explaining the selection criteria for test persons.
Over a four-week period, Prof. Dr. Christoph M. Bamberger, with 20 women and 16 men, examined the extent to which the HYPOXI-Method has more effect than conventional training.
HYPOXI versus „Exercise Only“
Half of the women completed a half-hour training course on a conventional bicycle ergometer or treadmill three times a week. The female HYPOXI group completed their training on the Trainer S120 which was developed specifically for the problem areas from the waist down.
The men, concentrating on the problem areas of the abdomen and hips, were also divided into two groups. One group completed their training on a conventional treadmill while the HYPOXI group did their training on the Vacunaut and the specifically designed Pressure Suit. The Vacunaut increases the blood circulation directly to the abdomen area.
No diet
All participants in the study adhered to HYPOXI’s recommended nutritional guidelines: Basically a lot of vital and dietary fibres, carbohydrates on days before the HYPOXI-Training and afterwards, protein containing foods. On days inbetween HYPOXI in particular balanced and versatile nutrition, however in a moderate amount.
Results after four weeks
Hips, buttocks and thighs measured on female probands. Study focused on men’s stomach and hips.
“This means that HYPOXI provides a scientifically proven method of systematic body fat reduction in the problem areas.”
Prof. Dr. Christoph M. Bamberger, MPCH
Significant results
After one month the measurements of all participants were taken – and the HYPOXI group was the happiest! Both the men and the women in the HYPOXI group showed significantly better results in the problem areas..
These women lost on average 13.1 cms around their hips, buttocks and upper thighs, while those in the control group lost only 4.8 cms..
Among the men, the problem areas of the stomach and hips were in the spotlight. Here the HYPOXI group scored an average circumferential loss of 9.4 cms while again the control group shed only 2.9 cms.
“Regarding the systematic body fat reduction in the target areas, HYPOXI is highly significantly superior to conventional training”, says Prof. Dr. Bamberger. “We couldn’t of said it any better”.
