Abstract
A portable hyperbaric chamber that allows a person to perform endurance exercise at barometric pressures of from 0 to 10 lbs/square inch greater than ambient. The chamber is portable, semi-spherical and inexpensively constructed of an essentially air-impermeable, flexible material. The chamber is used for endurance conditioning, to improve the athletic performance of people who live at altitudes above sea level.
Claims6
A lightweight, backpackable, inflatable and collapsible hyperbaric chamber having an essentially cylindrical shape when inflated, all sides of which are made of flexible, foldable, non-metallic, non-breathable material, providing sufficient interior volume to permit a human being to sleep within a sleeping bag, said chamber comprising a hand- or foot-operated pump means and differential pressure valve outlet means for achieving and adjusting air pressure inside the chamber adjustable from 0.2-10 psi greater than ambient, and means for human ingress and egress which can be closed to prevent loss of pressurized air.
