Something doesn't sound right. Epo levels increase in response to oxygen demand. So training at high altitude should yeild greater epo stimuation since you have less oxygen exchange. When you said training at high altitude results in detraining, are you saying hemoglobin levels decreased?? Would appreciate citations to reference literature.
According to what I've learned in my Environmental Ex Physio class, Hemoglobin increases proportional to elevation. EPO levels increases in response more so to the lesser partial pressure gradient (less O2 pressure)
Very informative and well presented. My experience at 1850m for 19 days so far training from 1850 to 2300. My heart rate is actually suppressed rather than high. Also power is down around 10-20%, best guess. At the end of 5 weeks here I will do a blood test to compare blood work prior and post. Cheers Alan
i live at 700m for 14 days, then go to my workplace at 20m for 14 days, thats my life cycle. when i do lactate threshold run base to heart rate, i could see different about 30 to 45s pace in my run.
High Altitude training I personally have seen great benefits in runners. Physiologist Joe I Vigil always was very careful with runners at Altitude (Kastor/Porter) His program worked well at 7,521 ft. Altitude in Alamosa Colorado. I did the live high train low in Flagstaff but not practical.
More negatives than positives actually. One good thing is higher red blood cell concentration, which even then, increases viscosity --> peripheral resistance
Do you think live low train high still give adaptations? Say doing 5 X 60min per week easy runs with altitude generator? (Workouts done in normal conditions for reasons mentioned) thanks!
Living low and train low showed no improvement from a 5k Time Trial. Living high, training low did show significant improvement (Adams, WC et al. Effects of equivalent sea-level and altitude training on VO2Max and running performance. J Appl Physio)
If you were to move to an area of high altitude and live there month plus to to a year, would you see any adaptation happen to your body or conditioning then?
Good information but just living at 5,000 feet in Denver has been causing severe muscle cramping and lowered blood oxygen to 93 from 98 when I was in Florida.
Really cool and informative video 👍
Thanks!

I altitude train with my 2 kiddos as well #Thanks

Ps average blood ox day one was 89%, now 93% but can swing to 100 during the day.

Why not practical?
What you said is wrong. You don't need to be in at least 6000 feet to see any changes. I see differences and benefits even in 1000-1500 feet.
What about using altitude centres for individual sessions at sea level? Say 2 sessions each 1 hour, a week maintained over say 8 weeks
How does training at high altitude affect the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve?
If you race in a stage race at 9000ft average, does it help to sleep at lower altitudes to recover better in between stages ?
so basically it works. thanks.

Yes
@@TheMovementSystemNice! How long would the effects take to"wear off" when I come back to sea level?
👍👍
this is great! anyway you can cite some of this information? I want to cite some of this research in my papers :)
