The (patho-) physiological responses to hypoxia are highly heterogeneous between
individuals. In this review, we focused on the roles of sex differences, which emerge as …

Despite the steady increase in female participation in sport over the last two decades,
comprehensive research on interventions attenuating the influence of female menstrual …

Purpose: We investigated whether hepcidin and erythroferrone (ERFE) could complement
the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) in indirectly detecting a 130 mL packed red blood cells …

The interpretation of athlete biological passport (ABP) is strengthened by understanding the
natural fluctuations in its biological parameters. Here we have assessed the influence of the …

(1) Background: The influence of the menstrual cycle on physical fitness in athletes is
controversial in the scientific literature. There is a marked fluctuation of sex hormones at …

The haematological module of the athlete biological passport (ABP) monitors longitudinal
haematological variations that could be indicative of blood manipulation. This study applied …

In recent years, increasing numbers of women have participated in extremely long races. In
adult males, there is a clear association between physiological levels of endogenous sex …

Iron deficiency is a common health issue in active and athlete populations. Accordingly,
research into iron status, regulation, absorption, and iron deficiency treatment strategies is …

Objectives: Repeated-sprint training in hypoxia (RSH) is an effective way of improving
physical performance compared with similar training in normoxia. RSH efficiency relies on …

Eight 4-min cycles of intermittent hypoxia represent the shortest hypoxic exposure to
increase erythropoietin (EPO) levels in young adults. The impact of aging on the EPO …
