This article overviews current comprehension of altitude training, which is quite contradictory: many sources declare that altitude training provides no benefits to sea level performances compared to appropriate conventional training while others consider altitude training to be an efficacious and proven tool to enhance high-performance preparation. This contradiction can be partly explained by the variety of individual training responses, i.e., individual predispositions among some athletes to more favourable reactions to altitude exercising. The potential benefits of altitude training for enhancing sea level performance include: (i) improved oxygen delivery to muscles induced by higher oxygen-carrying capacity of blood; (ii) enhanced oxygen utilization within the muscle cells due to higher activity of aerobic enzymes and increased myoglobin content; (iii) increased anaerobic capacity via improved buffering capacity in muscles and blood. It is proposed that a general approach be taken to compiling training programs according to phases of acclimatization and post-altitude preparation in accordance with sea-level re-acclimatization. There are favourable periods for competitions, i.e. intervals between the 14th – 28th days and between the 36th – 46th days after returning to sea-level. In addition to traditional altitude training where the athletes live and train at the same elevation, non-conventional approaches have been developed: (1) athletes live at altitude but train lower |
