Abstract

Apnea training has been suggested as a promising method to improve exercise performance for over a decade. However, to our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate its value on both hematological parameters and exercise performance, including Hbmass and a control group. No changes in Hbmass nor exercise performance were observed. Contradicting previous research, no acute increase in [EPO] following apnea was observed either, indicating that more intense protocols are needed, at least in nonapnea-trained individuals.
