In this video, Rico Rogers (Ex-professional cyclist)  from Box Altitude (http://www.boxaltitude.com/) describes the reasons why he started a company that specialises in altitude solutions for improved health, well-being, and athletic performance. Or in my case, cycling performance. 

Box Altitude offer altitude masks, tents, and complete altitude room solutions for people looking to improve their well-being.

Rico will be providing me with an altitude tent for a month. 

I ask what performance gains I can expect to get, the protocol of using altitude tents, and the process I'll go through in order to get the haematocrit gains I want to take my cycling performance to the next level. Rico describes a study that demonstrates a 5% improvement in haematocrit. He also walks through Box Altitude's world-first app that combines sleep with altitude data for optimal results.
