Physiological Adaptations to Simulated Intermittent Altitude on Human Health and Performance

Investigation of Physiological Adaptations to Simulated Intermittent Altitude on Human Health and Performance

The investigators expect to find that different intensity and altitude exposure levels will show what kind of intermittent exposure protocol is more beneficial to athletes and healthy individuals that experience acute exposure to altitude during exercise. This may furthermore be related to acute altitude exposure for recreational exercise use as well.

Inclusion criteria:

• 18-70 years of age,
• history of good health,
• generally active to competitive athletes.

Exclusion criteria:

• History of cardiac or pulmonary disease,
• not currently active,
• unable to exercise or meet study requirements (e.g., number of sessions),
• live at altitude (>2,100m or 7,000ft).
