The hot trend in elite athletics the past decade has been the use of altitude training and hypoxic tents to improve aerobic capacity and performance. The converse question is also intriguing – if you ...

The Jack Borgenicht Hypoxia/Altitude Physiology Research Facility (JBHARF) operates a normobaric hypoxia chamber at a “normal” sea level atmospheric pressure of approximately 760 torr (1 torr = 1/760 ...

High-altitude environments impose unique physiological challenges due to reduced atmospheric oxygen levels. Mammals native to these regions exhibit a range of adaptations that enhance oxygen uptake, ...

A common heart feature long thought to have negligible effects on human health and performance may be problematic at high altitude. That's a key finding from a study that looked at the effects of a ...

If you’re racing at high altitude, your performance will suffer. (How high is “high”? Opinions differ, and it also depends on your physiology, but there’s evidence that elevations as low as 1,900 feet ...

BETHESDA, MD. – Sildenafil (Viagra) significantly improved the cardiovascular and exercise performance measures of trained cyclists at high altitude, mostly because the drug helped some participants ...
