Stratergies Flashcards
1
Q
Optimal training strategy
A
Live high, Train low
(High enough to gain adaptations, training hard enough to maintain work quality and rates of oxidative flux)
Levine et al., 1997
2
Q
How long to stay at altitude
A
13-14hours a day to get proper benefits
Schimidt et al 2008
4 weeks at altitude = same as 1 EPO injection
3

A
2500m for optimal adaptations
4

Light physical activity to stimulate physiological adaptations while minimising fatigue eg. Easy hikes or low intensity training sessions
