Hypoxia chambers 

The Occidental Playa de Palma is the first hotel to incorporate hypoxia equipment in the rooms, allowing top sportsmen and women, especially cyclists, to improve their physical performance before a competition. 

What hypoxia does is activate the production of red blood cells and as a result, increases the maximum consumption of oxygen and aerobic resistance.
