Is Live High/train Low the Ultimate Endurance Training Model?
ثبت نشده
چکیده
WHAT IS LIVE HIGH/TRAIN LOW Live high/train low is a training method in which athletes live at high altitude and train at low altitude, usually with the goal of improving performance at sea level. The main idea is to reap the benefits of high altitude acclimatization while maintaining the intensity of low altitude training. The live high portion of the method is sometimes simulated with the use of altitude tents. The method used for these simulated environments is either oxygen filtration or nitrogen dilution, both of which reduce the concentration of oxygen. The train low portion of the method can be simulated by the use of supplemental oxygen (19).

Altitude Training and its Influence on Physical Endurance in Swimmers
It is possible to plan an altitude training (AT) period in such a way that the enhanced physical endurance obtained as a result of adaptation to hypoxia will appear and can be used to improve performance in competition. Yet finding rationales for usage of AT in highly trained swimmers is problematic. In practice AT, in its various forms, is still controversial, and an objective review of resear...

متن کاملCould altitude training benefit team-sport athletes?
INTRODUCTION Following the dominance of altitude acclimatised athletes during the 1968 Olympic Games held in Mexico City (2400 m), and early anecdotal training experiments in the USA in the 1970s, altitude (hypoxic) training has become very popular among individual endurance athletes including marathon runners, cyclists, swimmers and triathletes. Altitude training is used to further enhance exe...
متن کاملApplication of altitude/hypoxic training by elite athletes.
At the Olympic level, differences in performance are typically less than 0.5%. This helps explain why many contemporary elite endurance athletes in summer and winter sport incorporate some form of altitude/hypoxic training within their year-round training plan, believing that it will provide the "competitive edge" to succeed at the Olympic level. The purpose of this paper is to describe the pra...
متن کامل"Live high-train low" using normobaric hypoxia: a double-blinded, placebo-controlled study.
The combination of living at altitude and training near sea level [live high-train low (LHTL)] may improve performance of endurance athletes. However, to date, no study can rule out a potential placebo effect as at least part of the explanation, especially for performance measures. With the use of a placebo-controlled, double-blinded design, we tested the hypothesis that LHTL-related improvemen...
