Sooo, i was stopped at a redlight on my way to target after i got done with my failure of a workout and i glanced over to the car next to me and it had 4-5 girls-nextdoor type looking women in it between ages of 20-35 or so. They were waiving at me and a couple of them were blowing kisses in my direction. I didn’t recognize them and kinda smiled back and then ignored them. As the red light turned to green and they pulled away i saw some handwritten signs in their back window that said honk if you’re horny! I couldn’t help but smile a bit when i saw that, didn’t honk though.

Meh, my back hurt and i had to go shopping. I hate shopping. The part i left out is that they were smoking, and i hate smoking with a passion. It also causes me to become angry and irritable. I still found the signs a bit humorous though despite the smoking.
I do know what altitude training is. Colorado springs is a popular destination for training at higher altitudes.
But Dash, how exactly does it help with training. Does it affect the mitochondria or does it affect the erythocytes and how many there are?

Its basically spending time training at a higher altitude (ideally above 7000ft above sea level) with the understanding that it helps the body make physiological adaptations to a lack of oxygen. Good for endurance athletes, particularly.
Where did you get the info from, Dash?

Actually, very good question! Its still kinda “up in the air” scientifically (or so this speaker told us) as to what exact mechanism is responsible for the athletic gains, but many site that the increased red blood cell volume is key. At higher altitudes, oxygen hemoglobin saturation is decreased. When this happens, EPO (Which is the culprit when you hear about ‘blood doping’) secreted by the kidneys stimulates bone marrow to produce red blood cells in an attempt to increase hemoglobin levels and oxygen delivery.

I had to go to a seminar this weekend in St. Louis. It was cool, just very long.

Triathletes have been doing this for a while. From what I remember, The peak window of maximum oxygen transport occurs about 8-14 days into the training.

yup yup…and apparently last for 15ish days after going back to sealevel
Evo… Good browser or updates required? Does that question even make sense?
Cranking your blood iron level up using dessicated beef liver has a similar effect.
Or donating plasma causes an artificial increase in the ration of red blood cells.
