Opinion of the use of hypoxia

[Traininghigh]

Hi¡
I would like to open a debate a bout experiences with the use of hypoxia and the endurance performance. How much do you think that increase the performance (%)?
Do you feel lower quality of training during stages in altitude?

Hypoxia is the lack of oxygen in bodily tissues....all or part of.

If you try endurance riding whilst hypoxic you'll die.

Something may have been lost in translation and I assume you're referring to hypobaric training, either by going to altitude or the use of a hypobaric tent.

Stay at sea level and enjoy aerobic excercise, unless you're aiming for a pro racing career!

He's talking about altitude training where the body is forced to produce more RBC's and hemoglobin. And the benefits of increased RBC's and hemoglobin at sea level.

Try anaerobic threshold training (HITT) as this will help you train at a higher % of your VO2 Max meaning better performance, you need to cycle this between aerobic training as well. 4 to 6 weeks of each is a rule of thumb

From what orrifice did you pull that nugget?

Not only is it garbage but it is nothing to do with the thread topic.

Can anyone explain to me what anaerobic threshold training is?

 

[Traininghigh]

As other methods of training, hypoxia only is able in subjects that respond positively to lack of o2. In Cyclist, have been a great mistake the use of hypoxia commonly for all professionals. The positive effects of hypoxia (in responders) are:
- Increase the EPO response (O2 capacity of absorb and uptake).
- Increase the effort capacity due to the higher effort suffered during hypoxic training.
- Metabolic, muscular and hormonal positive responses. This improves are related with a greater glucose uptake with enzimes and hormones involved in the muscle effectiveness.
- Increase of the anaerobic threshold near of the Vo2max.
- Buffer capacity enhanced (lactate tolerance).

Literature, now, is working in the anaerobic responses after hypoxic training. Sports team and interval training.

Mod Hat On: Can we please keep this on track and remember than the OP's first language is not English and that some times online translation does not necessarily use the correct terminology or for that matter always make sense.
