This project follows the project carried out in 2020 as part of the ÖGAHM young talent promotion scheme. The subjects perform several maximal endurance tests over 5 minutes, comparable to 5-minute races, at a simulated altitude of 3,200 m. During these endurance tests, they are repeatedly administered oxygen over different periods of time.
The aim of this study is to find out whether there is a “dose-response relationship” for this type of hyperoxia application. The results could contribute to the development of new training concepts, for example for interval training sessions during altitude training, and thus enable even more effective training in various areas of application from high-performance to rehabilitation sports in the longer term.
