Altitude Training: Responders and Non-responders
Altitude training affects individuals differently, with some being responders and others non-responders. Responders experience a significant increase in EPO, red cell mass, and hemoglobin levels, contributing to improved performance. Non-responders fail to show substantial adaptations, highlighting genetic and environmental factors at play. Research aims to identify genetic polymorphisms affecting altitude response, emphasizing the need for tailored training approaches.
