73
Q

altitude training

A

training at over 2000m above sea level
enhance performance in endurance athletes

74
Q

what does altitude training process involve

A

acclimatisation - difference between training and competition environment. arriving several days before competition for body to adjust to environment
primary training - hard training
recovery phase - allow adaptations to occur as reduce intensity

75
