Altitude training and hypoxic conditioning with Dr Grégoire Millet
Inside Exercise
Introduction
In this chapter, the hosts explore the concept of emotional intelligence and its significance in personal and professional relationships, providing insights and strategies to enhance emotional intelligence.
Dr Glenn McConell chats with Professor Grégoire Millet from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. He is an absolute world leader in research into altitude training and hypoxic conditioning. This area has progressed greatly from Live High-Train High (LHTH) to Live High-Train Low (LHTL),
LLTH and LHTL (and High). The type of attitude training/hypoxic conditioning one would undertake depends on if training for endurance or team sports. We also discussed using low oxygen (hypoxia) and high oxygen (hyperoxia) for health benefits.

Inside Exercise brings to you the who's who of exercise metabolism, exercise physiology and exercise’s effects on health. With scientific rigor, these researchers discuss popular exercise topics while providing practical strategies for all.
The interviewer, Emeritus Professor Glenn McConell, has an international research profile following 30 years of Exercise Metabolism research experience while at The University of Melbourne, Ball State University, Monash University, the University of Copenhagen and Victoria University.
He has published over 120 peer reviewed journal articles and recently edited an Exercise Metabolism eBook written by world experts on 17 different topics (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-94305-9).
