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 used ...

The death of a young biathlete has refocused attention on hypoxic training masks, especially their cardiovascular effects, in athletes with prior inflammatory heart disease.

There are few times in life when one should aim for suboptimal performance, but new research at Rice University suggests scientists who study metabolism and its role in evolution should look for signs ...

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 ...

A new study has found that placing older, sedentary adults in a simulated high-altitude environment with reduced oxygen for a week before major surgery greatly improved their hemoglobin levels, ...

Thinner air could impact both players and traveling fans ahead of Saturday’s playoff game ...

Hypoxia, a condition characterized by reduced oxygen availability, has been widely studied for its potential therapeutic benefits in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders.

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.
