12-Day Adventure Run-Hike Training At Altitude Improves Sea Level 5km Performance, Andrew M. Jones
All NMU Master's Theses
Elite and recreational endurance athletes routinely seek strategies to enhance sea level (SL) performance. Altitude (ALT) training continues to be an appealing approach. The primary purpose of this study was to measure the effect of a 12-day adventure running camp at ALT on 5 km time trial (TT) performance at SL. Secondarily, we explored changes in select metabolic and blood variables. We hypothesized an improvement in TT at SL. A group of five well-trained individuals (2 females) volunteered. TT, maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), running economy (RE), and a complete blood count (CBC) were measured at SL before and …
