| Research Abstract |
This study aimed to clarify the effects of exercise prescription applied physiological adaptations to hypoxia on improvement in risk makers of metabolic syndrome. The results indicated that moderate exercise performed under hypobaric hypoxia corresponding to 2000 to 2500m above sea level improves cardiovascular functions such as a decrease in blood pressure and arterial stiffness, body composition, and insulin sensitivity within one to two weeks. Further more, it is suggested that the degree of improvement for each risk maker depends on the level of hypoxia and exercise type.
