Altitude training
Topic
Altitude training is the practice of training for several weeks at high altitudes, typically over 2,400 meters (8,000 feet) above sea level, to improve athletic performance. At these elevations, the lower atmospheric pressure reduces the partial pressure of oxygen, prompting the body to adapt by increasing red blood cell production. This physiological adaptation enhances oxygen delivery to muscles, providing a competitive advantage when returning to compete at lower altitudes.
