How does hypoxic training improve athletic performance?

In elite sports, winning or losing is determined by minimal differences in athletic performance. Physiological adaptations in response to altitude and hypoxic training can improve endurance athletic performance. Therefore, altitude and hypoxic training are frequently used methods to enhance the aerobic capacity of endurance athletes. This workshop aims to provide insights and knowledge of the physiological adaptations of altitude and hypoxic training.

We will first provide the theoretical physiological background of altitude and hypoxic training, followed by a practical session where the participants experience the physiological impact of exercise under hypoxic conditions in real-time. The participants become familiar with the use of state-of-the-art equipment measuring SpO2, SmO2, and heart rate (variability) in different environmental conditions. After this workshop, the participants can measure relevant parameters for athletic performance and understand the physiological adaptations to hypoxic training.
