High-altitude illnesses (HAIs) result from acute exposure to high altitude/hypoxia. Numerous
molecular mechanisms affect appropriate acclimatization to hypobaric and/or normobaric …

In recent years, the altitude acclimatization responses elicited by short-term intermittent
exposure to hypoxia have been subject to renewed attention. The main goal of short-term …

Since the 1960s there has been an escalation in the purposeful utilization of altitude to
enhance endurance athletic performance. This has been mirrored by a parallel …

Background: Many reports describe statistical approaches for estimating interindividual
differences in trainability and classifying individuals as “responders” or “non-responders.” …

THE OPTIMAL HYPOXIC DOSE for sea level performance adaptation is not a new concept.
Too long and/or too extreme exposure and training/performance is compromised, whereas …

The equivalent air altitude model, often employed in altitude medicine research and
interventional settings, stipulates that different combinations of barometric pressure (PB) and …

There is no doubt that many hypoxic conditions or prolonged exposures to altitude result in
“biological costs of hypoxic adaptations that outweigh their benefits”(1), particularly in …

In this Cores of Reproducibility in Physiology (CORP) article, we present the theory and
practical aspects of the carbon monoxide (CO) rebreathing method for the determination of …

Abstract For over 10,000 years, Andeans have resided at high altitude where the partial
pressure of oxygen challenges human survival. Recent studies have provided evidence for …

In elite sport, the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) was invented to tackle cheaters by
monitoring closely changes in biological parameters, flagging atypical variations. The …
