When elites like Kellyn Taylor—who trains in Flagstaff, Arizona—and Emma Coburn—who trains in Crested Butte, Colorado—work out at elevations around 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, then you know ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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” ...

If you're a competitive athlete, or even just an active person who wants to get in better aerobic shape, go up to the mountains ... If you’re a competitive athlete, or even just an active person who ...

It’s common for athletes to seek new ways to improve their athletic performance. One popular strategy is high altitude training, also known as high elevation training. This method involves training at ...

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 ...

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 ...
