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 …

Adequate oxygen supply is essential for the human brain to meet its high energy demands.
Therefore, elaborate molecular and systemic mechanism are in place to enable adaptation …

This review is devoted to the phenomenon of intermittent hypoxic training and is aimed at
drawing the attention of researchers to the necessity of studying the mechanisms mediating …

It is well-established that different altitude training modalities can improve convective oxygen
(O 2) transport capacity and physical fitness of athletes (Millet et al., 2010). Exercising in …

Humans elicit a robust series of physiological responses to maintain adequate oxygen
delivery during hypoxia, including a transient reduction in hemoglobin-oxygen (Hb-O 2) …

During acute episodes of hypoxia, chemoreceptor-mediated sympathetic activity increases
heart rate, cardiac output, peripheral resistance and systemic arterial pressure. However …

This review explores forms of respiratory and autonomic plasticity, and associated outcome
measures, that are initiated by exposure to intermittent hypoxia. The review focuses primarily …

Background: Intermittent hypoxia has been suggested to increase exercise tolerance by
enhancing stress resistance and improving oxygen delivery. Because the improvement of …

This review aims to summarize the basic research in the field of intermittent hypoxia in the
Soviet Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) that scientists in other …

Objectives Insufficient production and/or increased decomposition of the potent endogenous
vasodilator nitric oxide plays an important role in development and progression of arterial …
