Hypoxia refers to the decreased partial pressure of oxygen in the surrounding air when compared to sea level conditions (normoxia). Hypoxia occurs naturally at altitudes above sea level (hypobaric hypoxia) but can also be simulated at sea level using hypoxic chambers and tents (normobaric hypoxia). Exposure to hypoxia initiates acclimation mechanisms to maintain blood and … Continue reading Hypoxia for the Enhancement of Sea Level Performance
