Objective With the ultimate goal of finding a straightforward protocol for acclimatization at
simulated altitude, we evaluated the early effects of repeated short-term exposure to …

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 …

The physiological responses to short-term intermittent exposure to hypoxia in a hypobaric
chamber were evaluated. The exposure to hypoxia was compatible with normal daily …

Background Increases in arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) in response to intermittent
hypoxic exposure (IHE) are well established. However, IHE protocols have historically …

Intermittent normobaric hypoxia (IH) is increasingly used to pre-acclimatize for a sojourn to
high altitude. There is a number of hypoxia–protocols observing the hypoxic ventilatory …

The major risk factors for acute high altitude illnesses are the history of acute high altitude
illnesses on previous exposures, the altitude exposures in the weeks preceding the ascent …

Hypoxia at high altitude stimulates ventilation, but inhibitory influences in the first days after
arrival limit the ventilatory response. Possible inhibitory influences include hypocapnia and …

Exposure to high altitude induces physiological or pathological modifications that are not
always clearly attributable to a specific environmental factor: hypoxia, cold, stress …

Prommer, Nicole, Katja Heinicke, Teresa Viola, Jorge Cajigal, Claus Behn, and Walter FJ
Schmidt. Long-term intermittent hypoxia increases O2-transport capacity but not VO2max …

In order to systematically assess the effects of acute exposure to moderate hypoxia on
aerobic capacity (VO2max), 12 men (regular participants in recreational distance running) …
