OXYGEN ADVANTAGE™ 

The "Oxygen Advantage" program is a breathing training program developed by Patrick McKeown. It includes various exercises and practices aimed at improving breathing efficiency to:

  • Activate the brain and perform successfully

  • Promote well-being at work : prevent burnout and promote mental health at work

  • Improve athletic performance

 

Whether you are an athlete, professional athlete, physical or mental health professional, coach, public speaker, artist, personal development enthusiast, or if you feel you struggle with suboptimal health, this scientifically supported breathing method is tailored for you.

 

Optimeez offers guidance to acquire these techniques through individual or team coaching or corporate training.

 

The program is based on two pillars:

  1. Functional breathing

  2. High-altitude training simulation - intermittent hypercapnic, hypoxic training

 

Advantages of Functional Breathing:

  • Improves overall health

  • Enhances blood circulation and oxygen supply to cells

  • Boosts energy, concentration, and attention

  • Calms stress and mental agitation

  • Improves sleep and balances mood

  • Addresses insomnia and snoring issues

  • Enhances posture and spinal stabilization

  • Improves functional movement to reduce the risk of injury

  • Reduces the onset and endurance of breathlessness

  • Relieves rhinitis (stuffy nose and hay fever), asthma, and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction

  • Reduces the energy cost associated with breathing

  • Increases HRV, RSA, and baroreceptor sensitivity

  • Reduces post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and panic disorders

  • Assists in controlling diabetes and epilepsy

 

Benefits of High-Altitude Simulation:

  • Delays the onset of fatigue and lactic acid

  • Improves repeated sprint ability for team sports such as rugby and football

  • Strengthens respiratory muscles

  • Increases breathlessness tolerance

  • Safely and legally increases EPO (erythropoietin) production

  • Increases VO2max

  • Enhances running economy and duration

  • Improves swimming performance

  • Reduces oxidative stress

  • Speeds up recovery

  • Helps maintain fitness during rest or injuries

  • Reduces ventilatory response to hypercapnia and hypoxia
