Training at altitude is thought to benefit endurance runners through an adaptation process via acclimatization in hypoxic conditions with significant results in blood oxygen saturation increase via release of a hormone called erythroprotein which stimulates an increase in red blood cell (RBC) production (Garrettl & Kirkendal‚ 2000). Acute exposure to changes in altitude causes a reduction in the arteriole and alveolar oxygen partial pressure causing a relative change in the potential exercise intensity
