altitudes improves mean power on an aerobic test procedure when compared to the same test of the sea level training. [1]. A study carried out depicts that; intermittent hypoxia reduces stiffness of the arteries and hence improves cardio respiratory function. Training under normal conditions does not lessen the arterial stiffness [2]. Less stiff arteries lead to sufficient pumping to all the body parts including the muscles that are much the major factors involved in determining the athletic…

description of the software implemented to control each H2 joint actuator. Following is the description of the middle layer of software implemented to synchronize the movement of all joints and provide close loop control based on position, torque or stiffness. Each joint can be independently controlled by the high level control layer, where the therapies are implemented. The…
