Mitochondria are literally the “power plants” of our cells.

Mitochondria are literally the “power plants” of our cells. They play a central role in cell biology, especially in energy production and cell regulation. The main function of mitochondria is the generation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. ATP is the primary energy source required by our cells for a variety of functions, including muscle contraction and collagen synthesis for cartilage formation. Enzymatic metabolic processes for cell renewal and DNA repair are also heavily dependent on ATP.

Mitochondrial health can be affected by a variety of factors, including stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, ageing, disease, injury and surgery. All of these factors can lead to the degradation and reduced performance of mitochondria, which can have a negative impact on overall health and well-being.

At Sporthopaedic Hamburg, we have developed a holistic approach to improve mitochondrial function and health. We concentrate on three main strategies:

Stimulation of mitochondrial biogenesis: This is the process by which new mitochondria are generated in a cell. Various factors can promote mitochondrial biogenesis, such as physical activity and specific dietary interventions.

Promotion of mitophagy: This is the process by which damaged or ageing mitochondria are identified and marked for autophagy (self-digestion). This process is essential for maintaining a healthy population of functional mitochondria in cells.

Supply of sufficient “building materials” for mitochondrial synthesis: This includes certain nutrients and molecules that are essential for proper mitochondrial function, such as coenzyme Q10, magnesium, B vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, and certain antioxidants.

Our specific therapeutic approach, which combines whole-body cryosauna and interval hypoxia-hyperoxia training, aims to promote mitochondrial biogenesis and improve mitophagy. This results in the breakdown of underperforming mitochondria and a sharp increase in the concentration of new, healthy mitochondria. This process increases the body’s performance and allows healing and regeneration processes to take place unimpaired and efficiently.

Our tailored nutritional consultations provide further support by ensuring that your body receives the right “building materials” to support and enhance mitochondrial function. This all helps to shorten your recovery times after injuries, operations or herniated discs, and optimally prepares your body for upcoming surgery.

Drei Dinge werden benötigt, um den Anteil an leistungsfähigen Mitochondrien in der Zelle zu erhöhen.

1. Ein Anreiz für die Zelle neue Mitochondrien wachsen zu lassen

2. Alte, leistungsschwache Mitochondrien eliminieren

3. Genügend „Baustoffe“ für die Mitochondriensynthese

Kombination Kryosauna & Hyperoxie Training

Die Kombination aus Ganzkörper-Kryosauna (2,5 min auf -140°C) und Intervall-Hypoxie-Hyperoxie-Training (adaptives Höhentraining ohne körperliche Anstrengung) führt dazu, dass leistungsschwache Mitochondrien abgebaut werden und die Konzentration an frischen gesunden Mitochondrien immens steigt.
Dadurch wird der Körper leistungsfähiger und Heilungs-/Regenerationsprozesse können unbeeinträchtigt beschleunigt ablaufen.

So erholen Sie sich schneller von Verletzungen, Operationen, Bandscheibenvorfällen, werden auf eine Operation gezielt vorbereitet und verkürzen Ihre Rehabilitationszeiten.

Bezüglich der richtigen Baustoffe, beraten wir Sie gerne in welcher Form diese in der Ernährung ihren Platz finden.
