Why Live High Train Low?
Ever since the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, top sports people have been using altitude training to increase their performance. Specialists in Sports Science nowadays favour a further development in the area altitude training using "Live High - Train Low" strategies.
Live High Train Low
All the benefits at a glance:
- Performance gains based on Scientific Research
- Improvements in maximum oxygen-absorption capacity (VO² max)
- Increases in levels of erythrocytes
- Increases in the overall Volume of red blood corposcles and haemoglobin mass
- 3-5% Improvement in performance capacity
Living High-Training Low: Effect on Red Cell Mass and Aerobic Performance in Elite Middle-Distance Runners [PDF]
P. Robach et al., 2004 (Abstract #13).
"18 days of living high-training low induced a net increase of 5% in aerobic performance, which tended to persist 15 days after the end of training."
Living High-Training Low: Effect of Moderate-Altitude Acclimatization with Low-Altitude Training on Performance,
B. Levine and J. Stray-Gundersen, Journal
of Applied Physiology, 1997. Significantly increased VO2 Max (5%), red cell mass (9%), and 3.9% improvement in 5K time.
A Three-Week Traditional Altitude Training Increases Hemoglobin Mass and Red Cell Volume in Elite Biathlon Athletes,
Heinicke et al. Intl. J. of Sports
"We show for the first time that a three-week traditional altitude training increases erythropoietic [EPO] activity [by 76%] even in world class
endurance athletes...leading to increased red blood cell volume"
Live high-train low for 24 days increases hemoglobin mass and red cell volume in elite endurance athletes
JP Wehrlin, P Zuest, J Hallen, B … - Journal of applied …, 2006 - Am Physiological Soc
The effect of live high-train low on hemoglobin mass (Hb mass ) and red cell volume (RCV) in
elite endurance athletes is still controversial. We expected that Hb mass and RCV would increase, when using a presumably adequate hypoxic dose.
Live high-train low associated with increased haemoglobin mass as preparation for the 2003 World Championships in two native European world class runners …
JP Wehrlin, B Marti - British Journal of Sports Medicine, 2006 - bjsportmed.com
Results: Haemoglobin mass increased by 3.9% and 7.6%, and erythrocyte volume by 5.8% and 6.3%. The race times, as well as the ranking at the World Championships, indicated clearly improved performance after the LHTL camp.
