It is best for athletes to sleep at an altitude of 2000-2500 meters during a “live-high-train-low” training period in an altitude tent. At this altitude, the conditions are most favorable to perform as well as possible at sea level afterwards. This appears from research by a group of researchers with many ... read more
Live High Train Low
Train like Bradley Wiggins: Live High, Train Low
Strange message today: no Paris-Nice or Tirreno-Adriatico for the classic Team Sky riders. Why are they doing that? We asked sports doctor Kris Vandermieren. "Absolute trust in science can definitely lead to success." ... read more
Live High Train Low height training highlighted
With a Live High Train Low training protocol the body will acclimatize to stays at heights (ie with low oxygen), while the training intensity is maintained at a normal oxygen level (sea level). In this way the benefits of staying at heights are experienced, without ... read more
10 tips when sleeping in a height tent
In this article, we give you 10 valuable tips you can use to optimise your altitude training with the altitude generator. Simulating altitude training with an altitude generator seems simple but in practice it is a handsome piece of O2 technology that you want to make the most of. The below ... read more
What is the ideal height for my training?
The lower the better! So training at sea level is best. Simply because that is where the most oxygen is in the air, which means that you can train harder and recover faster. ... read more
What is the optimum height for LHTL height training?
The higher the height, the more response in the body. However, this phenomenon is limited by the sleep quality that decreases with (too) high altitudes. Finding the ideal height is therefore balancing between sufficient 'hypoxic stress' without losing too much in sleep quality. ... read more
Why not just live permanently at heights?
Staying at height causes the desired physiological reactions, but the oxygen deficiency has the disadvantage that athletes cannot deliver the maximum quality in their training. This can itself inhibit the progression of the athlete. ... read more
