Chronic hypoxia is a common condition affecting the organ tissues and systems in the human body. Tissue hypoxia affects cell function, leading to cell damage and death, and may be the cause of many chronic diseases that are generally perceived as civilization diseases. The problem of eliminating or mediating the symptoms of hypoxia involves searching for a physiological mechanism that can prevent its development. To maintain gas homeostasis in the blood, it is necessary to adjust the function of the respiratory system, which can only be achieved by special breathing training. The aim of this paper was to investigate the training methods directed at producing physiological hypercapnia as means of eliminating tissue hypoxia and to examine the existing methods of using physical exercise to obtain physiological hypercapnia. The simulation method of obtaining physiological hypercapnia is an alternative to the existing training methods aimed at eliminating tissue hypoxia. The human body requires a regular overdose of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) to maintain physiological norms. Daily training allows the breathing, and consequently the blood СО2 levels, to return to the normal.
