Objective Recently, we showed that 5 days of normobaric intermittent hypoxia at rest (IH; 2
hours daily at 3800 m simulated altitude; partial pressure of inspired oxygen 90 torr) can …

Background: Both hypoxia exposure and physical exercise before ascending have been
proved to promote high altitude acclimatization, whether the combination of these two …

In a placebo-controlled study, the effects of intermittent hypoxic exposures (IHE) or a
placebo control for 10 days, were examined on the extent of exercise-induced hypoxemia …

Obstructive sleep apnea is characterized by repetitive nocturnal upper airway obstructions
that are associated with sleep disruption and cyclic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) The cyclic …

Eur J Clin Invest 2012; 42 (3): 260–265 Abstract Background Based on a report of a marked
increase in the erythropoietin concentration ([EPO]) a few hours after the cessation of a …

Athletes use hypoxic living and training to increase hemoglobin mass (Hbmass), but
Hbmass declines rapidly upon return to sea level. We investigated whether intermittent …

Purpose This study examined the effect of 1 wk of normobaric intermittent hypoxic exposure
(IHE) combined with exercise training on endurance performance at a 4300-m altitude (HA) …

Intermittent hypoxia (IH) resulting from sleep apnea can lead to pulmonary hypertension
(PH) and right heart failure, similar to chronic sustained hypoxia (CH). Supplemental CO2 …

Mild intermittent hypoxia may be a potent novel strategy to improve cardiovascular function,
motor and cognitive function, and altitude acclimatization. However, there is still a stigma …

The effect of intermittent hypoxia (IHx) on blood hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]) and the
underlying mechanisms were studied in rats exposed to 10% O2, 1 h/day, for up to 5 wk. IHx …
