Intermittent hypoxia (IH) has been the subject of considerable research in recent years, and
triggers a bewildering array of both detrimental and beneficial effects in multiple …

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 human body is a highly aerobic organism, in which it is necessary to match oxygen
supply at tissue levels to the metabolic demands. Along metazoan evolution, an exquisite …

Adaptation to living or training in hypoxic environments (altitude training) continues to gain
interest from sport scientists and endurance athletes. Here we present the first meta-analytic …

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 …

This study investigated whether hypoxic exposure increased muscle buffer capacity (βm)
and mechanical efficiency during exercise in male athletes. A control (CON, n= 7) and a live …

This mini-review summarizes the physiological adaptations to and pathophysiological
consequences of intermittent hypoxia with special emphasis given to the pathophysiology …

Intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) refers to the discontinuous use of normobaric or hypobaric
hypoxia, in an attempt to reproduce some of the key features of altitude acclimatization, with …

In recent years, the altitude acclimatization responses elicited by short-term intermittent
exposure to hypoxia have been subject to renewed attention. The main goal of short-term …

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 …
