Altitude training and hypoxic exposure represent a multifaceted approach in sports physiology and medical research, where controlled exposure to environments with reduced oxygen availability is used ...

It’s common for athletes to seek new ways to improve their athletic performance. One popular strategy is high altitude training, also known as high elevation training. This method involves training at ...

It seems like a simple-enough concept: Train where there’s less oxygen, force your body to adapt, and come back down to low altitude to race fitter and faster. Indeed, the allure of altitude training ...

Elevation training happens in high altitudes -- 7,000-8,000 feet above sea level. When exercising in these altitudes, less oxygen is delivered to your muscles, getting you used to breathing “thinner” ...

There’s a reason elite runners flock to towns such as Park City, Utah (altitude 6,936 feet above sea level), Flagstaff, Arizona (6,821 feet above sea level), and Mammoth Lakes (7,881 feet above sea ...
