CVAC Systems, Inc. and Athercare Fitness & Rehabilitation announced their agreement to study the value of the CVAC process in fitness and athletic performance enhancement, and to explore this use in a commercial environment.

Nov. 22, 2006-CVAC Systems comes into this agreement armed with initial scientific data supporting the claim that the CVAC process enhances physical fitness and relevant data from decades of published research focused on the benefits of high-altitude acclimatization and intermittent hypoxia in fitness and athletic enhancement. “The training and rehabilitation activities that Athercare is involved in and their clientele of elite professional and amateur athletes make it a perfect environment to further our ongoing studies as to how the CVAC process enhances physical endurance and performance,” said Allen J. Ruszkowski, President and CEO of CVAC Systems. “We are excited about this opportunity to explore the viability of this process and its potential incorporation into fitness-enhancement programs,” said Donald Chu, PhD., a member of the Strength & Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame and Director and Founder of Athercare Fitness and Rehabilitation.

Athercare represents a re-creation of a clinic successfully operated by Dr. Chu for more than 20 years, and was opened in October in Castro Valley. This brand new facility incorporates the latest in technology with a wide breadth of experience.

Athercare is designed for professional, college and high school athletes, as well as men and women who are concerned about keeping healthy and fit. Athercare is also recognized and recommended by physicians and athletic coaches for those individuals with rehabilitation and performance training needs.

Dr. Chu, a nationally recognized specialist in Sports Medicine, has developed an extensive reputation in the field of sports rehabilitation and in the areas of fitness and conditioning. He is the author of six books, including "Jumping into Plyometrics" now in its 2nd edition.
