@6:02 it shows that the masked group had a greater increase in performance...+16.5%(mask) vs +13.5% (no mask) and +13.6%(masked) vs +9.9%(no mask). That's 22% and 37% more of an improvement respectively.
In research, this doesn't matter if you don't reach ''statistical significance''. Read the original study if you want to understand more, it is linked in the description.
Phenomenal video btw, TH-cam needs more videos like this! TH-cam is way too full of complete misinformation and nonsense based on junk science, so it refreshing to see a video like this. I really am just splitting hairs here because I did read the conclusion of the study and saw that: "The relatively large improvements in VT, PO at VT, RCT, and PO at RCT while wearing the mask could have very significant performance implications." It is important to note that while the changes in VO2 and PPO were not statistically significant, the improvements in RCT and PO were. While it is important to keep in mind whether or not something is statistically significant, keep in mind the p value of .06 is really close to .05, which is what would be necessary for it to be statistically significant. All a p value greater than .05 says is that we do not have enough evidence to reject the hypothesis that there is no difference. Below is the excerpt. "No significant differences were found in pulmonary function or hematological variables between or within groups. There was a significant improvement in VO2max and PPO in both the control (13.5% and 9.9%) and mask (16.5% and 13.6%) groups. There was no difference in the magnitude of improvement between groups. Only the mask group had significant improvements in ventilatory threshold (VT) (13.9%), power output (PO) at VT (19.3%), respiratory compensation threshold (RCT) (10.2%), and PO at RCT (16.4%) from pre to post-testing. The trends for improvements in VT and PO at VT between groups were similar to improvements in RCT and PO at RCT, but did not reach statistical significance (VT p = 0.06, PO at VT p = 0.170)."
@@Kreeck06 Thanks a lot. This is exactly what I'm trying to do on this channel. No more bro-science. In addition to these findings, you can also check a 2018 study, that after 12 weeks of training with or without this mask, found that training with this mask can actually hinder performance improvements. ''Chronic Effects of an Elevation Training Mask on Aerobic Capacity, Anaerobic Endurance, and Pulmonary Function'' - Tyler Heimdal
I live in one of the Mexico's highest cities. I'm about 2600 meters above sea level since inwas born, two times per year (since 8yrs ago) I hike the local mountain (4600 m) I was diagnosed with sleep apnea and rinitis when I was a child (10yr old) and I've been using ETM 2.0 ocassionally since 2012. I havent made a register but five years ago my average oxigen level were between 89-92, now with the covid thing I check it as a routine because near people got sick and my average is between 94-96 despite I don't doing almost any excercise and I'm very restricted at my training. In a scientific point of view I consider my personal experience could be multifactorial but this is how science works, maybe with case's studies, bigger samples, other lattitude replications of the studies, etc. Great job! An interesting research.
I get your point and yes this maybe be a case for these masks. In my upcoming video, I am explaining why the personal story of someone doesn't really serve as a justification for the quallity of the mask. There may be many other factors that contributed to your progress but thank you for sharing your story! I always say "with the data that we currently have" before I make a conclusion and this is exactly because we don't know everything. If I were you I would train consistently with a Respiratory Muscle Training device like the powerbreathe plus. It's a very well designed and sophisticated device that would probably help you a lot more. Thanks for your feedback!
Awesome vid! You should do a vid that debunked the idea that women that wear bands around their legs while doing leg exercises get more activation in the glutes muscles which leads to getting bigger but faster.
you can actually cut out filters to fit in the circle valves where the rubber thing usually goes and by doing that you will actually have a lot better and safer mask then a hand made,handkerchief or even store bought medical mask because whatever air you breath in is coming through the filter you put in the mask 👍🏽🙏🏽 I bought 2 different kinds of elevation mask and I use them both for work. I’m essential worker so I still come in contact with people daily and if you want to still train with it then you just pop the rubber pieces back in👍🏽 Hope this helps some of you out there🙏🏽
Caroline Campelo go on eBay and go to search and type in. 👉🏽 For ADULT/Child 10-100PCS ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER Cover Replacement 6 LAYERS 👈🏽 I got these and basically cut them out to fit all the breathing vents but it is a little hard to breathe if your not use to it but after a little while seems you get stronger or at least I did and it’s not so bad. I actually found a mask online that I’m going to order soon that has filters and is for like air pollution but made by similar/same company as one of the training mask.

If you want to train your respiratory muscles, you can go do butterfly swims in the pool. You get cardiovascular exercise and more benefits than sitting in a chair using a device routinely for respiratory training. Probably why you don't see the spirometer devices outside of the hospital.
You confirmed the reason I wanted one, thank you. I wanted to know if it would be a good training aid for strengthening my lungs and heart as I suffer from asthma.
Not the heart, only the muscles of the respiration. If you suffer from asthma you should train these muscles but with other devices. There are way better devices that have been structured especially for people like you. One good choice is the "powerbreathe" device.
Thanks for the detailed video.. what i understand from your video is that this device is not worth buying as it doesn't affect your performance in any way.
nice video! considering the pandemic, it would be nice to have a video about the effects on health for training with a protection mask. there's a lot of misinformation going around about training with a mask and not a lot of science. Everyone feels how hard it is to breathe using a mask during training, but no one have science to prove if it can actually harm you or maybe lead to better performance.
hes doing training for olypmpic lifting. its done this way. its a training for the snatch, which is lifting the bar from the ground to over your head in a single swift movement. Not the same as hypertrophy-focused training.
05:56 claims there was no difference in improvement for Vo2 max and power between two groups in the test but the figures clearly show that although both groups improved the masked group improved by 3% more on VO2 max and 4% on power. For athletes those percentages are significant.
In research, this doesn't matter if you don't reach ''statistical significance''. Read the original study if you want to understand more, it is linked in the description.
@@woody1380 You didn't understand. When we say that it doesn't reach ''statistical significance'' we mean that the results can not be generalized and most athletes will likely have zero improvements! Also, there are other studies that have clearly shown a decrease in performance when athletes used these masks. Their findings reached statistical significance and I will present them in my next video about the elevation training masks. Are you selling these masks or something like that?
@@YiannisChristoulas I'm not selling anything. I understand perfectly. If a 3% improvement could be shown in further study then despite not being statistically significant it is still a significant improvement. If you have further info from other studies I will be happy to see it, the more the better.
@phil chickenfingers masks prevent droplet transmission ( transmission through small liquid droplets normally occurring through coughing or accidental spitting) which is one of the ways covid spreads, how does that not make sense?
I usually used it on cardio for just 30 minutes, and because of this whole situation of COVID-19, ny lungs are strong, clean and I haven't been affected by it
@@edward6463 no no no, what is helping me is creating more healthier and stronger lungs, because I done twice the COVID-19 test in which includes x-ray test and both doctors have said that I have very clean, stronger lungs, I explain to them what I do in my routine exercises in which involves a 30 minute cardio with the training mask, they done some research themselves and they provided me the good and bad thing of it, and since I only do cardio 30 minutes, they told me to just used it for that time exactly, no more, no less and just in cardio, don't matter if it's on treadmill, stationary bike, shadow boxing, just cardio and also it has helped me out on be more time underwater, because I practice swimming (without it, of course) so in my experience, it has helped me out
Hola Bernardo, hoy en dia mucha gente solo postea videos aqui para hacer dinero sin saber realmente lo que estan hablando. Esta mascara es muy buena para agrandar un poco los pulmones y mejora la mejora la manera de respirar mietras se hace cardio, o la recomiendo para usarse mientras el levantamiento de pesas. Asi que estoy de acuerdo contigo.
Its worth to me 'cause my breathing when I remove the ETM I feel very long deep breathing which is good for farklek training or Tempo run for 60mins....🏃🚴🏊
If someone tries to choke you will feel your breath a lot better if he stops, this doesn't mean that it increased your performance. Every single study that has been done with these masks has shown zero benefits on performance, some even found that it decreased performance.
Well it works for me been using it for a year now when i spar i get drained so much but when i start training with this mask in my training. My breathing is easier. I dont get drained anymore. Well it doesnt simulate altitude but it provides resistance to breathing so when i dont use it way more easier. Told my students to invest to one of this mask. Well works great for them too saw it too that they improved specially in endurance. Im no expert in science but it helps us to get better. It doesnt give the benefits of being in a high altitude or using a real machine. But it teaches how to breathe with a restricted air, how to control breathing. And gives lungs resistance to get stronger. It shouldnt be called a altitude or elevation mask. It should be called resistance mask. Thats why it got bad reputation because of how they marketed it. Its like 2 different training and benefits. Different from being in high altitude and being in sea level. Works great to us. I dont know why it doesnt work to others. Try it for a long time not just a week or a day then see the difference Very detailed explanation deserve more subs💪
its a great idea to filter dust when u work out outside but thats about it and other than it looks cool wearing it. Other than that, limiting oxygen by way of “resistance” can have a long term effect in your brain, SpO2, and ABGs!! So yeah dont do it.
