Location: Home >> Effect of Altitude Training on Erythropoietin
Altitude training is an effective method to improve the competitive level and physical fitness of athletes, which is widely used. In this paper, literature and logical analysis were used for statistical analysis. First of all, the original experiment of training time of 2-3 weeks, 4-6 weeks and more than 6 weeks was analysed. This paper sums up the influence of altitude training on erythropoietin and discusses the toxic effect of erythropoietin and its harm to the physical development of athletes. The results showed that short-term and medium-term altitude training could increase the EPO and RBC content of athletes immediately after entering the plateau and improve the physical value of athletes in a stable state after leaving the plateau. However, the effect of long-term altitude training is not ideal. This phenomenon can be explained by the red blood cell rupture caused by long-term fatigue and EPO compensation, which is also confirmed by the theory of hemorheology. In order to reduce the physical burden of athletes in altitude training, HILO training method can be used to improve the long-term development potential of athletes. Therefore, it is suggested that athletes should take short- and medium-term altitude training as the first choice.
