| Research Abstract |
Altitude training is quite popular nowadays, but the success rate is low. This study aimed to develop a new methodology of altitude training which success rate is higher. The results of this study show that "living low - training high" method using a normobaric hypoxic room is good for the purpose. And the author recommend the following guidelines.
1. Guidelines for competitive athletes;
Thirty-minute per day, 3 times per week, containing 3 weeks or so is suitable for improving performance. Altitude should be set at 2000-2500m. Exercise mode should be similar to the sports event itself. Exercise intensity should be as strong as possible, so interval exercise is better than continuous one.
2. Guidelines for altitude climbers;
Ten to fourteen hours per day, 6 times per week, and continuing 1 weeks or so is suitable for obtaining altitude acclimatization. Altitude should be set at 4000m at the beginning of the training and finally reach to 6000m. Exercise intensity should be moderate or low. If taking sleep in the hypoxic room, the altitude should be set at lower than that of daytime.
3. The training should be done at just before the competition or expedition for "peaking".
