Natural Highs: Replacing EPO with altitude in modern cycling
Sleeping in a altitude tent is proven to be beneficial to athletes which can directly correlate to non athletes. As a rule athletes will alter their Hb mass by 4-5% depending on the altitude they sleep at and the individual response this translates to 3.5-4.3% increase in VO2max which for non athletes...
Altitude training boosts endurance performance, but how? A new study reveals the strong link between hemoglobin mass and VO₂ max in elite athletes. For every 1% increase in hemoglobin mass, VO₂ max rises by 0.48-0.62%. Discover the science behind altitude training's effectiveness and its impact on aerobic capacity. Learn why this matters...
Spending significant time at higher altitudes increases the body's demand for iron, primarily because iron is a critical component in the production of red blood cells. Prolonged exposure to altitude stimulates the production of erythropoietin, a hormone that promotes the creation of red blood cells to improve oxygen transport and compensate for...
Discover how "Live High, Train Low" altitude training can boost team sport performance. A new study reveals significant improvements in hemoglobin mass, intermittent running, and time trial performance for athletes spending 15-19 nights at simulated high altitude. Learn the key findings and practical implications of this game-changing approach for enhancing endurance and...
