EFFECTS OF NIGHT NORMOBARIC HYPOXIA AND INTERMITTENT HYPOXIC TRAINING ON THE BODY OF ATHLETES
Abstract:
Application of night normobaric hypoxic exposure (sleep in a tent – ST) is a popular ergogenic aid amongst athletes. An alternative hypixia protocol, acute (60–90 min daily) Intermittent Hypoxic Training(IHT).The aim of this study was to compare directly the effect of ST andIHTonthe running and blood characteristics of athletes. Changes in total haemoglobin, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), velocity at VO2max, running economy, maximal blood lactate concentration (La) and 3 mm La running speed were compared following 17 days of ST,
HTandcontrol.
Keywords:
oxygen consumption, normobaric hypoxia, lactate concentration, graduated test.
