Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted a series of training experiments focusing on the oxygen saturation during exercise in order to examine the optimal conditions to enhance the effect of hypoxic (high altitude) training. The oxygen saturation to set the load to be 90% or less, once for 30 minutes, a period of time (twice a week, four weeks) by bicycle driving training implementation of, significant during exercise, regardless of the altitude and exercise intensity improvement of endurance capacity was observed. These results be said that as a condition to enhance the training effect of endurance capacity in hypoxic environments it is important to select the load intensity such as oxygen saturation is the level of 90% or less.
