The effects of iron stores and supplementation on erythropoietic responses to moderate
altitude in endurance athletes were examined. In a retrospective study, red cell compartment …

PURPOSE: Iron is integral for erythropoietic adaptation to hypoxia, yet the importance of
supplementary iron compared with existing stores is poorly understood. The aim of the …

Purpose To investigate the influence of daily oral iron supplementation on changes in
hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) and iron parameters after 2–4 weeks of moderate altitude …

Laboratory evidence of suboptimal iron status is endemic in chronically training athletes, yet
the importance of low serum ferritin values to athletic performance is unclear. The purpose of …

Iron is an important mineral in the body, essential for muscle function and oxygen transport.
Adequate levels of iron in the blood are necessary for athletes, as iron-deficiency anemia …

The present study explored the impact of pre‐altitude serum (s)‐ferritin and iron
supplementation on changes in hemoglobin mass (ΔHbmass) following altitude training …

Classical altitude training can cause an increase in total hemoglobin mass (THM) if a
minimum “dose of hypoxia” is reached (altitude≥ 2 000 m,≥ 3 weeks). We wanted to find …

Background: One of the goals of altitude training is to increase blood oxygen-carrying
capacity in order to improve sea-level endurance performance in athletes. The elevated …

1111 The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that iron supplementation in well-
trained non-iron-depleted athletes leads to an enhanced increase of total body hemoglobin …

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the modest increases in serum
erythropoietin (sEpo) experienced after brief sojourns at simulated altitude are sufficient to …
