Understanding Altitude Training Adaptation
Altitude training impacts training and racing performance through changes in barometric pressure affecting oxygen levels. The body adapts to lower oxygen by increasing EPO production, leading to more red blood cells for improved oxygen delivery. The aim is to boost the central and peripheral systems' oxygen utilization capacity.
