Persisting elevation of total hemoglobin mass after altitude training in elite swimmers: a potential role of prolonged erythrocyte survival

Résumé fourni par la source

This self-controlled study investigated the effects of a “live high-train high” (LHTH) altitude training camp on RBC senescence and Hbmass in nine swimmers. Despite increased RBC senescence markers, Hbmass increases during LHTH camp and remained elevated 10 days postaltitude, a persistence that could be due to an extended RBC lifespan. The self-controlled design, where each athlete completed both an LHTH training camp and a sea-level training camp, enables a rigorous assessment of the altitude effects.
