Systems and methods for providing intermittent hypoxic training

A method for providing an intermittent hypoxic training, the method comprising:

• controlling, by one or more hardware processors, a gas processor to produce first gas according to a first training oxygen ratio during a first training period, wherein the first gas is provided to a subject;
• determining, by the one or more hardware processors and based on one or more first readings from a pulse oximeter, that a blood oxygen saturation level of the subject has reached a first predetermined blood saturation level during the first training period;
• in response to determining that the blood oxygen saturation level of the subject has reached the first predetermined blood saturation level during the first time period, controlling, by the one or more hardware processors, the gas processor to produce second gas according to a normoxic oxygen ratio during a first recovery period;
• determining, by the one or more hardware processors and based on one or more second readings from the pulse oximeter, that the blood oxygen saturation level of the subject has fallen more than a predetermined threshold below the first predetermined blood saturation level during the first recovery period;
• in response to determining that the blood oxygen saturation level of the subject has fallen more than the predetermined threshold below the first predetermined blood saturation level during the first recovery period, determining a second training oxygen ratio for a second training period based on increasing, by the one or more hardware processors, the first training oxygen ratio;
• and
• in response to determining that the blood oxygen saturation level of the subject has reached a second predetermined blood saturation level higher than the first predetermined blood saturation level during the first recovery period, controlling, by the one or more hardware processors, the gas processor to produce third gas according to the second training oxygen ratio during the second training period.
