Message: [QUOTE="m1c, post: 2458388, member: 1944"] Actually, fact is there's nothing outside of anecdotal evidence linking altitude training to improved performance at sea level. The problem is the adaptation trade-off that occurs when you're exposed to higher altitudes. RBC production and count improves, however blood plasma volume decreases to the point where you actually have less blood in your system. The problem for mine, is that at altitude VO2 Max actually decreases. So you're working at sub-maximal efforts. The only benefits that can be derived are through sleeping high and training low. It's great for a change up, and the placebo effect could be worthwhile, however the jury is still out on the physiological benefits. [/QUOTE]
