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 …

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: To determine if a single versus a split equivalent daily dose of elemental iron was
superior for hemoglobin mass (Hbmass) gains at altitude while minimizing gastrointestinal …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Altitude exposure increases the body's need for iron (Gassmann and Muckenthaler, 2015),
primarily to support accelerated erythropoiesis, yet clear supplementation guidelines do not …

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 …

Purpose: To quantify the changes of hemoglobin mass (Hb mass) and maximum oxygen
consumption (VO 2max) after 22 days training at 1300–1800 m combined with nightly …
