Oxygen Advantage

The Oxygen Advantage teaches the science behind breathing for health and performance.
It’s time to unlock your potential.

Breathing for Health

It is often thought that athletes would already be functional breathers to achieve their performance results. However, this is often not the case. Athletes often display key traits of dysfunctional breathing patterns including persistent mouth breathing and fast and shallow respiration. Dysfunctional breathing patterns will ultimately limit performance efficiency and potential.

The first pillar of the Oxygen Advantage is to address functional breathing patterns. Functional breathing training will:

  • improve blood circulation and oxygen delivery to the muscles and brain

  • reduce the onset of breathlessness

  • reduce energy costs associated with breathing

  • maximise vagal tone

  • regulate the nervous system

  • improve sleep, focus, calm and enhance recovery

  • improve functional movement to reduce the risk of injury

Breathing for Performance

The second pillar of the Oxygen Advantage is simulation of altitude training or intermittent hypercapnic, hypoxic training. This form of breathwork training helps to:

  • improve aerobic and anaerobic capacity

  • stimulate anaerobic glycolysis without risk of injury

  • increase VO2 max and running economy

  • increase repeated sprint ability (team sports)

  • increase maximum tolerance to breathlessness

  • improve respiratory strength

  • maintain fitness during periods of injury or recovery

Oxygen Advantage in Action

Danny participated in the Oxygen Advantage program as part of his training and preparation for an epic 22-day bike ride to raise money for mental health. Danny rode more than 3100km, from Esperance, WA to his hometown of Omeo, Victoria.

The Oxygen Advantage exercises helped to improve aerobic capacity, to cope with the challenging altitude of Mount Hotham and to assist with recovery.

With private sessions available online or in-person, what challenge are you wanting to prepare for?

Oxygen Advantage Presentations & Workshops

Introduce your organisation, team or club to the Oxygen Advantage and observe the effects of learning about the power of breathing to optimise both physical and mental performance, whilst enhancing and optimising overall health and wellbeing.

Everyone will gain from these informative, lively and interactive workshops.
