Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was designed to (1) investigate the effects of acute short-duration intermittent hypoxia on muscle mRNA and microRNA expression levels; (2) clarify the mechanisms by which short-duration intermittent hypoxia improves endurance capacity; (3) investigate the effects of short-duration intermittent hypoxia on endurance capacity in well-trained individuals. The present results suggest that exercise training under normoxic atmosphere with short-duration intermittent hypoxia represents a useful strategy for improving endurance performance in highly trained individuals.
