Altitude training is a popular strategy among athletes to improve sea-level performance. Altitude training is today a standard training routine in many endurance sports to increase physical capacity.
Studies of medical evidence:
- Resource: altitude training. Indication: stamina and performance (Ploszczyca, Langfort & Czuba, 2018; Lundby & Robach, 2016): evidence level Ib
Although altitude training is widely used to improve exercise capacity, clear scientific proof for its effectiveness is still lacking. Further research is needed to explore the effects of altitude training in detail.
Health tourism potential:
- Cooperation with medical institutions.
- Physiotherapeutic offers especially in combination for training camps at high altitudes for competitive athletes.
