Rationale for the use of hypo-hyperoxic training in patients with metabolic syndrome

Abstract

Recently, the interest of scientists around the world in studying the relationship of metabolic disorders and obesity with the growth of cardiovascular diseases has increased significantly. Pharmacological medicine does not yet have effective drugs with which it is possible to solve the problem of metabolic syndrome in a complex, therefore, drugs are most often used to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, blood pressure, appetite suppression to reduce body weight, etc. In recent years, the method of interval hypoxic and hypoxic-hyperoxic training has been very intensively researched and applied in clinical practice as a modern highly effective physical method of prevention and treatment of various diseases. It was found that with the course use of IGT, a complex of compensatory responses develops: optimization of the functioning of the sympatho-adrenal system; changes in the metabolism of lipids and lipoproteins due to the activation of key enzymes that catalyze the esterification of cholesterol and regulate the formation of high-density lipoproteins. Such a systemic response of the body is very important in people with insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome and impaired carbohydrate tolerance.
