High Altitude Training

Highland training is the first mile I run everyday, and the cows are with me. The road through Mountain Pine does not look right, but the Arizona cattle are everywhere and it is 7,000 feet. When I passed by, they looked suspicious with soft eyes. They still look like statues, only the head moves slowly and moves almost unconsciously. No matter where you are standing in the room, like the head in the painting of the deceased relatives. I am staring at you. I do not know if they agree with all these running activities, but they are silent.

Quite a while ago, a popular training method called advanced training appeared in serious athletes. Highland training is about athletes training at the highland (such as mountains) during the off season. When they were training there, the body was forced to adapt by producing red blood cells carrying more oxygen for lower amounts of oxygen at higher altitudes. This allows the athlete to operate normally even if the athlete is in the high altitude and oxygen is scarce. If the human body can ultimately work well at high altitude, he / she holds higher concentrations of oxygen-carrying red blood cells that allow them to absorb and transport oxygen more efficiently I will return to the surface of the sea. More than ever

The advantage of highland training is that muscles are naturally strengthened as more oxygen is available during competition at lowlands. The disadvantage is that athletes can not train in the highland, even if training is difficult. Athlete uses a lot of clues to judge the strength of training (muscle fatigue, breathing difficulty, speed covering the ground). However, through well-monitored training, adequate rest and adequate adaptation time, elite athletes can benefit from high-level, low-training programs.

To achieve these results, there are many different advanced training strategies: "High train height" (LHTH), living and training at high altitude, and "high train low" (LHTL) sleeping at high altitude However, Sea-level training to maximize performance. These companies are expensive and introduce various alternatives to rebuild this training environment. Low pressure chamber - Introducing nitrogen into the air to reduce the oxygen concentration or removing oxygen from the air through a filter to simulate high pressure - is best known and at the high performance training centers throughout Australia You can find it.
