Simulated high altitude could help older patients at risk of health complications related to surgery, a new study has found. Simulated high altitude could help older patients at risk of health ...

It seems like a simple-enough concept: Train where there’s less oxygen, force your body to adapt, and come back down to low altitude to race fitter and faster. Indeed, the allure of altitude training ...

Altitude training refers to exposing the body to hypoxic environments (those which limit the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues) long enough to elicit physiological adaptations. These adaptations ...

Alex Hutchinson is a National Magazine Award-winning journalist and Outside’s Sweat Science columnist, covering the latest research on endurance and outdoor sports. This month’s issue of Medicine & ...

There’s a reason elite runners flock to towns such as Park City, Utah (altitude 6,936 feet above sea level), Flagstaff, Arizona (6,821 feet above sea level), and Mammoth Lakes (7,881 feet above sea ...

On the left, some of the subjects—call them super responders—saw a drop of more than 20 mmHg. On the right, we have some non-responders, and even some negative responders, whose blood pressure ...

Elevation training happens in high altitudes -- 7,000-8,000 feet above sea level. When exercising in these altitudes, less oxygen is delivered to your muscles, getting you used to breathing “thinner” ...

Human athletes have long utilized training at high altitudes to improve their oxygen-carrying capacity, so it should come as no surprise that trainers of equine athletes have tried similar methods.

Ordinarily, trekking into high alpine zones requires days or even weeks of altitude acclimatization to help you adjust to the fewer oxygen particles you'll be taking in each breath. Weird things ...

Despite the limited research on the effects of altitude (or hypoxic) training interventions on team-sport performance, players from all around the world engaged in these sports are now using altitude ...

Simulated high altitude could help older patients at risk of health complications related to surgery, a new study has found. A randomised trial of eight volunteers spent a week exposed to reduced ...
