Description
Summary:To examine the extent to which possible changes in running economy after altitude training can be explained by changes in respiratory muscle oxygen consumption. Six elite male distance runners completed a 28-d altitude training intervention at 2150m following a "Live High - Train Low" training model. Prior to altitude ascension, running economy was examined by measuring submaximal oxygen uptake (VO sub(2)) and ventilation (V sub(E)) while running at 16, 18, and 20 km times h super(-1) on a treadmill at sea level. Running VO sub(2) decreased (p
