Four climbers went up and down Everest in under a week with the help of xenon gas—a record-breaking ascent that has ignited ...

Altitude training and hypoxic exposure represent a multifaceted approach in sports physiology and medical research, where controlled exposure to environments with reduced oxygen availability is ...

IN normal persons chronic hypoxia results in polycythemia. This phenomenon has been recognized and studied in high-altitude dwellers, and data obtained from such studies have come to be accepted ...

The father of Zane Wach, 14, says hallucinations prompted his son to question whether he was dreaming before he fell from a ...

How do you envision practically delivering chronic, continuous hypoxia to patients? One is actually moving to a high altitude. So that could be one possibility, but maybe not the most practical.

In 2007, Wilber1 presented the main altitude/hypoxic training methods used by elite athletes: ‘live high—train high’ (LHTH) and ‘live high—train low’ (LHTL); sleeping at altitude to gain the ...

The pilot warned that the risk of hypoxia “should not be normalised”, adding that requirements to fly at 28,000ft were typically causing 90min exposure to cabin altitudes of 19,000ft.
