Institute of Sports Science, University of Innsbruck Project Title: Effects of different pre-acclimatization protocols on physiological resting and exercise responses in hypoxia2022 to 2024 Staff: Leoni Lauscher and Hanna Löberbauer (Master’s program in Sports Science, University of Innsbruck, Institute of Sports Science) The aim of the present study is to investigate and compare the effects of two different pre-acclimatization protocols on physiological exercise parameters in hypoxia. To this end, subjects perform maximal cycle spiroergometry in normoxia and in hypoxia (simulated altitude of 4,000 m). Subsequently, depending on their group assignment, they undergo either one of two pre-acclimatization protocols or no pre-acclimatization (control group). The pre-acclimatization protocols include a)
