MAXIMUS Fitness Accelerator

CO₂ Tolerance & Respiratory Adaptation

Mild hypercapnia trains the chemoreceptors responsible for CO₂ sensitivity, reducing the urge to breathe and improving ventilatory control under stress or fatigue.

Increased ventilatory efficiency

Enhanced respiratory muscle strength

Improved blood pH regulation

Lactate Metabolism: From Waste to Fuel

Training under hypercapnic conditions shifts metabolism by:

Promoting lactate clearance via MCT transporters

Increasing lactate shuttle efficiency between muscle fibers

Lowering the rate of acidosis at high intensities

Result: Higher sustainable intensities and quicker recovery.

Improved Lactate Threshold (LT)

Regular hypercapnic exposure enhances LT by:

Delaying the onset of blood lactate accumulation (OBLA)

Improving capillary density and mitochondrial buffering

Allowing athletes to perform closer to VO₂max for longer

VO₂ Max Enhancement:  VO₂ Max—the maximal oxygen uptake capacity—is a gold standard in performance and predictor of longevity. Hypercapnic training contributes to:

Increased red blood cell count (via mild hypoxia if combined)

Enhanced oxygen extraction (a-vO₂ diff) at the muscle level

®   Boosted cardiac output efficiency

®   Impact on Athletic Performance

For athletes, the Maximus hypercapnic approach means:

More power at higher intensities without acidosis,

Longer time to fatigue due to better lactate processing

Enhanced neuromuscular efficiency

Reduced perceived exertion at submaximal efforts

VO₂ Max & Longevity: The Ultimate Metric and Why it Matters:

® VO₂ Max is the strongest predictor of all-cause mortality in both healthy and clinical populations.A 15% improvement in VO₂ Max from hypercapnic training may equate to years of life gained.

®  Maximus enables older adults to boost cardiopulmonary resilience without extreme workloads.  CONCLUSIONS:  Hypercapnic training is no longer fringe—it’s a validated strategy to unlock human performance and longevity. Platforms like Maximus translate this science into everyday protocols for athletes, biohackers,  and longevity seekers.

Whether you’re shaving seconds off your 5K or stacking years onto your life, CO₂ training could be the missing link.  DART Technology = Dual Airflow Resistance Technology 95% of available RMTs do not afford Expiratory Resistance, which is responsible for the hypercapnic effects.

MAXIMUS is A Force Multiplier

Because you use the device while exercising, you place a much greater load on your cardiorespiratory system, heart, lungs and vasculature, thus the gains you elicit are much greater than exercising without MAXIMUS.

Ergo-dynamically designed to be worn comfortably under face-masks while you exercise or practice your sport allowing for a sport specific cardiorespiratory workout.
