Anaerobic Live High Train Low Altitude Sudies
Effect of living high and training low on sea level performance in runners.
Nummela, A., Jouste, P., & Rusko, H. (1996).Medicine and Science in Exercise and Sports, 28(5), Supplement abstract 740.
Runners (M = 4; F = 2) trained for 400 m lived for 10 days in a normobaric hypoxia in an altitude house (equivalent to 2,200 m) and trained outdoors at sea-level. Six male runners trained and lived solely at sea-level to serve as a control group.
Measures were taken prior to and 3-5 days after acclimatization. A maximal anaerobic tests on a treadmill determined velocity at exhaustion and at 5 mM blood lactate level.
The "altitude living" group improved 400 m race time, velocity at exhaustion (2.2%), and velocity at 5 mM lactate level. The sea-level trained group did not change in any measures.
