The Effects of Live High-train Low on EPO, VEGF, and Hematological Variables in Elite Rowers
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating hypoxia for Hypoxia. Completed, enrolled 13 participants.
Detailed Summary
The response to hypoxia is very individual and epending on many aspects, such as the type of training, duration, intensity, or hypoxic stimulus, hypoxia affects the athlete in various ways. The results of this study have shown that 18 days of the LH-TL method does not significantly increase the level of EPO and VEGF in rowers. However, reticulocytes, immature red blood cells, have shown significant differences after 18-d LH-TL between groups. Further research should be carried out to investigate an optimal hypoxic dose and time, which will raise EPO, VEGF, and morphology variables.
