Effects of Physical Training in Altered Environmental Conditions (in a Hypoxic Thermoclimatic Chamber) on Exercise Capacity and Selected Physiological Responses of the Human Body
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The main objective of the study is to evaluate the physiological-biochemical effects of physical training under artificially altered climatic conditions (using a hypoxic thermoclimatic chamber) in particular to determine the effect of such training on exercise capacity and physiological response, including the effect of training in high-performance athletes. The study will evaluate the effects of physical training and the simultaneous application of hypoxia and heat/cold on aerobic and anaerobic capacity and the physiological response of the human body. The aim of the study is to find the most favourable environmental conditions for physical training in order to maximise physical performance.
