The increase in oxygen transport elicited by several weeks of exposure to moderate to high
altitude is used to increase physical performance when returning to sea level. However …

The benefits of living and training at high altitude (HiHi) for an improved sea-level
performance have been questioned because controlled studies have shown contradictory …

New methods and devices for pursuing performance enhancement through altitude training
were developed in Scandinavia and the USA in the early 1990s. At present, several forms of …

The importance of oxygen transport and consumption in the body for endurance
performance is the reason why altitude training as preparation for competitions at sea level …

This study was performed to investigate the effects of intermittent hypoxic exposure on blood
and exercise parameters. Eight sea level residents were exposed to 2 h daily stimulus to …

The benefits of living and training at altitude (HiHi) for an improved altitude performance of
athletes are clear, but controlled studies for an improved sea-level performance are …

This study examined effects of low altitude training and a live-high: train-low protocol
(combining both natural and simulated modalities) on haemoglobin mass (Hb mass) …

Recently, endurance athletes have used several novel approaches and modalities for
altitude training including:(i) normobaric hypoxia via nitrogen dilution (hypoxic apartment);(ii) …

Acclimatisation to environmental hypoxia initiates a series of metabolic and musculocardio-
respiratory adaptations that influence oxygen transport and utilisation, or better still, being …
