Hypoxi Studio: Independent study
Salzburg University, 2007

In 2007, the executive council of the Department of Sportscience and Kinesiologie, University
Salzburg, Austria, oversaw a comprehensive study into the validity of Hypoxi as a
fat reduction technology. The team comprised of:

• Univ. Prof Dr Erich Müller
• Mag Eva Tischer
• Mag Elisabeth Löberbauer-Purer
• Dr Nanna Meyer, Salt Lake City Utah (Nutritionist)
• Mag Judith Haudum
• Mag Elisabeth Sinnegger
• Univ Prof Dr Serge von Duvillard, Texas
• Univ Ass Dr Susanne Ring-Dimitriou

PARAMETERS OF THE STUDY (random/blind and/or double-blind)

4 groups of test people were selected – 1 control group (C) and 3 groups were all placed
on the same diet. A nutrition program slightly reduced in calories (individually calculated
RMR) was composed and monitored by nutritionist, Dr Nanna Meyer.
Group 1: HNC (Hypoxi training 3x/week + nutrition program)
Group 2: P (Conventional ergometer training with the Hypoxi-Trainer but without low
and high pressure as well + nutrition program) – the Placebo Group
Group 3: N (nutrition program without training) Nutrition Group
Group 4: C (without any intervention) Control Group

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Using the DEXA measurement technique (Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry to an accuracy
of measurement +/- 0,5% at the hospital “Landeskrankenanstalten Salzburg”), the
team made the following findings:

• The group undertaking Hypoxi treatments (Group 1) achieved a 264% greater reduction
  in subcutaneous fat deposits in specific locations than that achieved with diet
  alone (Group 3).
• The group undertaking Hypoxi treatments (Group 1) experienced a 60% greater reduction
  in subcutaneous fat deposits in the lower body than those people in the placebo
  group undertaking conventional training (Group 2).
• Positive changes in skin appearance and cellulite were observed – the subjective
  evaluation of the team rated the effects of Hypoxi 400% better than the effects of
  diet and training.

Prof Dr Müller concluded:
“low intensive training with the Hypoxi Trainer S120 in combination with an individual
well-balanced diet within 12 weeks results in a very high reduction of body weight and
mainly affects the adipose. The reduction in targeted adipose is also shown to improve
the subjective cognition of the skin...”
