Organism adaptations on high altitude training

Training in hypoxia conditions (relative decreasement of oxygen in the air) is one of the most common ways for improving athletes conditioning before the competitions. Because ofhigh altitude (around 2500 m), atmospheric pressure drops from 760 mmHg (sea-level) to around 550 mmHg. It means that in equal amount of air, quantity of oxygen is lower. In that way, lower amount of oxygen will come to skeletal muscle. Based on that, there are several physiological organism adaptations, where human body needs to be well-prepaired (for example, iron concentration in blood and health conditions need to be tracked all the time). Effects oh high altitude training, with proper duration and on optimal high were determinated by tracking positive changes in functional and biochemical factors. Staying at high altitude gives athletes adaptations that he/she will exepect on the competition. Well- prepaired and organised training should be implemented to achieve morphological, motor and functional changes, which are the basic factors of every sports discipline.
