Athletic disciplines involving anaerobic performance use
both power strength and repeated interval running as
specific methods of training. These exercises require a
greater specificity of effort including also psychological
stress. Under this premise, training in hypoxia athletes
has an elevated perception of effort providing a greater
specific stimulus for anaerobic metabolism than the same
exercise in normoxia . However, despite this fact, the
use of different models of intermittent hypoxia training
(IHT) to improve athletic performance is subject to extensive
discussion at the moment among researchers, coaches
and athletes . Two models are classically used in this
regard:
