A sealed lower-body capsule creates negative pressure — up to 30mBar below atmospheric — around the lower body during exercise. This has a specific and well-documented physiological effect: it dramatically increases blood flow to the subcutaneous adipose tissue in the lower body, thighs, hips, and abdomen — the areas where fat is most hormonally resistant to mobilisation in many people.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 11.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #050504;\"\u003eUnder normal conditions, even intense cardiovascular exercise delivers relatively poor perfusion to subcutaneous fat in these regions. The body preferentially burns intramuscular triglycerides during exercise because they are more accessible. The under-pressure environment changes this equation fundamentally. By increasing blood flow to subcutaneous fat tissue during the exercise itself, it creates the conditions for genuinely preferential fat oxidation in exactly the areas where people most want to see change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 11.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #050504;\"\u003eThe calorie burn data is consistent across studies: 65–76% greater calorie expenditure compared to equivalent conventional exercise.
