T HE SPORTING EDGE DIFFERENCE SPORTING EDGE systems provide a combination of benefits that are simply un-matched. SPORTING EDGE was formed to revolutionise the altitude training market by virtue of improved technology with a focus on performance, reliability and safety.

SPORTING EDGE introduced high performance membrane technology, sophisticated feedback control systems and innovative system architecture. Sporting Edge was the first company to successfully integrate the close control of simulated altitude, temperature and relative humidity.

DOUBLE THE GAINS WITH ALTITUDE

Ultra reliable membrane architecture with 20 year design life

Intrinsically safe control systems with multi level security

Energy efficient designs that minimise power consumed

Industry leading 5 year warranty on all room systems info@sportingedgeuk.com

The performance gains of a properly planned hypoxic strategy will outweigh all other forms of modern sports science interventions.

SPORTING EDGE ALTITUDE SYSTEMS Ultra reliable Air Separation Units engineered to have only a single active part, providing unequalled reliability.

Intrinsically safe design that removes any risk of exposure to harmfully low oxygen levels – unless specifically overridden by a secure password entry.

ENHANCED REPEAT SPRINT ABILITY info@sportingedgeuk.com

Intuitive user interface that includes innovative features such as One Touch Pre-sets, Programmable Timer, and Graphical Trending.

Energy saving design minimises power consumption and has an option for energy recovery.

Resillient Programmable Logic Controller for extreme reliability and immunity from hacks and viruses. No PC based components are employed.

The improvements in even as little as 3 weeks are often comparable to a whole season’s hard work without altitude.

WORLD LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL CHAMBERS Sporting Edge will design your Environmental Chamber to provide the exact range of environments that you require.

The successful, simultaneous and precise control of simulated altitude together with temperature and humidity poses challenges that are often not appreciated – until too late. Added to that is the requirement to produce environments as near uniform as possible so that users experience the desired conditions and scientific experiments produce consistent results.

For many years Sporting Edge has led the world with increasingly sophisticated designs, as epitomised in the World’s largest and most Extreme chamber located at Nad Al Sheba in Dubai.

UNMATCHED FOR PERFORMANCE & RELIABILITY

SIMULATED ALTITUDES To 8,750m

TEMPERATURES From -25 to +50°C

The Sporting Edge control systems provide an intuitive Touch Screen interface with user friendly features and innovative designs that optimise power consumption.

RELATIVE HUMIDITY From 20% to 95% info@sportingedgeuk.com

At Liverpool John Moore’s University we commissioned two environmental chambers from a European company to provide high specification dual altitude and high temperature chambers of large size. We were dismayed to find that after many problems running these chambers in the first year they were not fit for purpose. The significant challenge of providing simultaneous altitude and high environmental temperature proved way beyond the capacity and expertise of this company to deliver.

However, Dave and his team at Sporting Edge were able to provide a solution to the multiple problems left behind by their competitors and have very successfully reengineered these facilities. I can now say with complete confidence that after significant testing (both by Sporting Edge and ourselves), these chambers are now functioning at designated capacity and we are very pleased with them.

Therefore I can thoroughly recommend Dave and his company as having the requisite engineering knowledge and skill to deliver these custom and important laboratories. My best recommendation would be that they are highly professional and leave no stone unturned to satisfy the customer.

Environmental control including hypoxic (altitude) environments has become a fundamental element for training, preparation, acclimatisation and rehabilitation. The precise control of these environments is a complex but crucial task particularly when combining environments (i.e. Cold and altitude, heat and humidity). I know that Sporting Edge provide the ultimate in environmental control facilities with the highest quality after sales care. If I were to build another environmental facility it would be the specialists at Sporting Edge that I turn to.
