Research Abstract

From the result of this research, it was suggested that especially the prolonged exercise for 40 minutes or more in the exercise intensity of mild to moderate in low-oxygen environment at an altitude of 2000m or more is effective in promoting the fat combustion during exercise and after exercise. It became clearer that the response level represented by the arterial oxygen saturation has also affected body fat combustion than oxygen concentration and altitude. The next research is the making of program to plan the maximization of the training effect using environment for hypoxia.
