Why the study?
Does live high-train low (LHTL) increase haemoglobin mass in world class runners?
Does live high-train low (LHTL) increase haemoglobin mass in world class runners?
Live high-train low training may increase haemoglobin mass and potentially improve sea-level performance in elite athletes.
May support individualized LHTL protocols in elites; leaves open performance effects pending controlled trials.
The results suggest that LHTL with an adequate dose of hypoxia can increase haemoglobin mass even in world class athletes, which may translate into improved performance at important competitions at sea level.
