NOTE

Hypoxic Area Under the Curve and Its Impact on Hemoglobin Mass

A study compared the hypoxic area under the curve at natural altitude versus simulated or synthetic altitude, showing that individuals accumulate more hypoxic area under the curve at natural altitude. This effect is attributed to individuals training harder and being away from distractions at natural altitude. At the elite level, the costs of training at natural altitude are deemed irrelevant, making it a win-win situation. The study's findings point to the significance of the hypoxic area under the curve as a predictor of hemoglobin mass.
