“…The second important purpose was to analyze the effects that low atmospheric pressure causes on the human body, both under basal and effort conditions , and to compare the response the body in the two different hypostases: altitude vs. flat. It has been observed in several studies that low atmospheric pressure causes hypoxia (Girard, 2022;Billaut et al, 2022) and reaching a lower max VO 2 (Pühringer et al, 2022), but performing a cantonment of preparation at altitude with a duration of at least 4-6 weeks (Mujika et al, 2019;Deldicque, 2022). leads to the increase of biochemical parameters such as: 2.3-BPG, Hb, RBC, EPO (Płoszczyca et al, 2018;Baranauskas et al, 2022;Beidleman et al, 2017) and implicitly of the performance sports (Girard et al, 2020) and VO 2 max (Lukanova-Jakubowska et al, 2022;Mancera-Soto et al, 2022 )) Also, it has been observed that if the tendency of SpO 2 is to decrease in altitude conditions, the rate of lactate recovery is not influenced, which is why an individual response to hypoxia is obtained from each athlete.…”

Background: Although quality is one of the oldest ways to increase sports performance, a precise protocol of acclimatization and participation in competitions is not yet established, studies in the field not being able to specify exactly a methodologist is ideal. The purpose of this research is to study whether the sports performance of mountain runners increases after performing an altitude training program and whether a VO2max higher conditions the obtaining of superior results in mountain running races. Methods: The paper is based on a case study performed on a selected 7 male subjects, mountain performance runners from the National Team of Romania, subjected to three tests: initial in plain conditions, intermediate in altitude conditions and final in plain conditions. The tests involved performing the Bruce protocol to identify the VO2max value and to go through a route specific to the short-distance mountain running test in maximum effort conditions. Results: Hypoxic effects of altitude determine the obtaining of one hour VO2max inferior comparative with wave times obtained in conditions of flat. SpO2 decreases during effort regardless of altitude or flat, but at altitude the values fall below the physiological limit of 95% and return to physiological limits 15 minutes after effort regardless of flat or altitude. It was also found that following an altitude training camp, the sports performances of the mountain runners increased: the place in the general classification at the National Championship was better and the VO2max had higher values in FT compared to IT. However, an excellent VO2max does not condition a higher place in the ranking of specialized competitions. Conclusions: The training camps at altitude are an efficient method of maximizing the sports performances in mountain running, provided that they are performed according to a specific duration of at least 4-6 weeks and an optimal acclimatization.

“…Ischemic preconditioning is a local hypoxia method, which corresponds to a sequence of transient ischemic episodes followed by reperfusion. In an attempt to derive implications to accelerate or facilitate altitude acclimatization, Billaut et al [2] summarized current knowledge on the potency of this practice to enhance the pulmonary, vascular, and metabolic determinants of performance at altitude.…”

Acute exposure to terrestrial altitude (hypobaric hypoxia) causes decrements in endurance performance relative to sea level. Altitude acclimatization consistently results in partial attenuation of these decrements, but due to logistical challenges is not readily implemented. We discuss mechanisms and impact (or lack thereof) of other non-acclimatization interventions to improve endurance performance and provide suggestions future research directions.
