To assess how altitude training impacts force-velocity-power (F-V-P) profiling and muscular power anaerobic capacity in elite badminton players reference to intra- inter-individual sex-based variability. Following a quasi-experimental design, 14 (6 females, 8 males) from the French national singles doubles teams performed 3-week 'living high-training high' camp at natural (2320 m). F-V-P profile Wingate test were assessed Pre- Post-intervention, using ANOVA repeated measures conventional statistics, with further estimation statistics show magnitude of testing condition visualize responses. No significant interaction nor time effect (Pre- vs. Post-) was observed for any variables (all p > 0.05), but sex maximal theoretical velocity (p < 0.01), relative (Pmaxrel) = 0.02) peak mean outputs (both 0.001) during test. Pre-to-Post changes (from −11.0% + 14.4%) did not significantly differ between sexes, except Pmaxrel 0.05) favor female athletes (+10.2% −4.3% male athletes). Hedge's g sizes (male minus female) revealed moderate large effects profiling-derived variables. Mean reveal training, mainly due high inter-variability across Substantial difference contributes this variability, emphasizing importance individualized approach enhance participant responsiveness training.

The impact of the experimental “Hypoxic Boxing” training on the motor abilities and specialized fitness of national boxing champions: a randomized controlled trial

Frontiers in Physiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: March 20, 2025

Introduction Among theorists and practitioners, there is a consensus regarding the significant role of optimizing sports training in high-altitude conditions. This stems from specific combination environmental variables that determine dynamics changes broadly understood adaptation. The aim this study was to evaluate impact an experimental program, Hypoxic Boxing (under normobaric hypoxia conditions), on development functional profile (motor specialized fitness) within national elite group boxers. Methods A randomized controlled trial conducted with 20 elite-level boxers representing championship level (mean age: 23.9 ± 3.0 years; height: 181.3 7.14 cm; body weight: 79.3 8.84 kg; BMI: 24.15 2.21; experience: 10 4.0 years). participants were assigned either (Hypoxic - HB; n = 10) or control (Normoxic NB; 10). Both groups followed same 6-week which included two daily sessions (morning afternoon). afternoon for HB under hypoxic conditions chamber, while NB trained non-simulated normoxic assessed before after intervention (pretest vs. posttest) by analyzing results selected motor ability tests Eurofit battery fitness using Pawluk Test. Results (within-group analysis) demonstrated improvement test performance strength endurance resistance fatigue abdominal, arm, back muscles. Specifically, number sit-ups increased 27.5 28.8 3.4 ( p 0.007, d c 0.35), pull-ups improved 14.9 4.5 16.4 4.6 0.005, 0.33). also led notable enhancement fitness, including anaerobic capacity technical efficiency, as reflected punches delivered s (72.6 9.6 74.3 9.5, 0.008, 0.18), post-exercise recovery (HR 1 min: 143.3 6.6 138.4 5.8 bpm, 0.004, 0.79), multidimensional Index Specialized Performance (4.5 0.5 4.3 0.5, 0.005 , 0.40).

Additionally, showed homogeneity outcomes during post-test phase. intergroup comparison effects experiment revealed differences overall dimension special 0.05), more favorable group. Conclusion demonstrates benefits extended, combinatory program compared standard protocols. Our findings hold both scientific practical significance, appears effective enhancing abilities fitness.

Efecto del entrenamiento en altura media en la respuesta hormonal crónica en velocistas y mediofondistas de élite

Revista Iberoamericana de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(1), P. 39 - 63

Published: May 16, 2025

Este estudio evaluó el impacto de la altitud moderada en los niveles hormonales 15 atletas élite (8 hombres, 7 mujeres) durante un ciclo entrenamiento cuatro semanas. Se midieron testosterona, T3, T4 y TSH cinco momentos: antes del ascenso (S1), días 7, 14 21 (S2 a S4), una semana después regreso al llano. En testosterona aumentó significativamente, alcanzando máximo 35.8 nmol/L S5. mujeres, también hubo incremento 2.95 nmol/L. T3 se mantuvieron dentro rango normal, con ligeras elevaciones S2 S3. La mostró aumento moderado permaneciendo normal. Los resultados indican que afecta las hormonas clave, lo subraya necesidad ajustar programas condiciones hipoxia.

Endurance training for judo athletes: Improving anaerobic and aerobic capacity in the high altitude

JOURNAL SPORT AREA, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 9(2), P. 295 - 306

Published: July 28, 2024

Background Problems: Judo is a sport that requires aerobic and anaerobic abilities. This because the scoring in judo matches different from other martial arts, where athletes will look for absolute 'ippon' points one match. Therefore, training needed can support increasing capacity athletes. Endurance at high altitudes method believed to have benefits athletes' capacity. Research Objectives: The study aims examine effect of endurance on based Special Fitness Test (SJFT), which specific test describe fitness according needs judo. Methods: research was conducted Puncak area West Java, included highlands. An experimental used this twenty-four Indonesian elite who are carrying out camps face SEA Games Vietnam 2021. t using SPSS Version 24 data analysis study. Findings Results: results showed there significant increase athletes, as seen SJFT. Conclusion: concluded could highly recommended it has been proven We recommend coaches carry improve abilities

Background and Aims: Examining the differences between sea-level training programs altitude offers important new perspectives on how environmental influences affect physiological adaptations athletic performance. By being aware of these variations, coaches athletes can tailor plans to unique conditions altitude, which may improve performance in terms endurance, oxygen use, general ability. Thus, this study aimed investigate effects adaptation Chinese elite male marathon runners compared plains training. comparing results with those training, sought determine whether has a significant advantage enhancement for marathoner. In addition, exploring variability responses will help inform an in-depth understanding strategies affecting marathoners optimize methods endurance sports. Methodology: Thirty-two be recruited subjected randomized controlled trial (RCT) they assigned either high or group. SPSS was used perform independent samples t-tests paired data technical indicators. Both groups receive structured standardized predetermined period, high-altitude set at 2366 m 8 weeks. Results: (1) experimental group, red blood cells (RBC), maximal heart rate (HRmax), uptake (VO2max), full before experiment after were (P=0.001); anaerobic power hemoglobin (HB) substantial (P<0.005); (HRmax) 28 days post-experiment substantial. difference (P=0.001).
