Combining Heat and Altitude Training to Enhance Temperate, Sea-Level Performance

CONCLUSIONS: Current research regarding combined heat and altitude interventions does not seem to indicate that it enhances temperate, sea-level performance to a greater extent than "traditional" (heat or hypoxia alone) training approaches. A major challenge in implementing combined-stressor approaches lies in the uncertainty surrounding the prescription of dosing regimens (ie, exercise and environmental stress). The potential benefits of conducting heat and altitude exposure sequentially (ie, one after the other) warrants further investigation.PMID:38237571 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2023-0250
