A case study on altitude training and its effects of volly ball players

Abstract

Altitude training is to enhance training performance. The fundamental theory behind altitude training in that, by exposing an athlete to an environmental that is low in oxygen, (Hypoxic), the body will eventually adapt and improve its efficiency (acclimatized). In volley ball it is necessary to clarify the effect of altitude training on hematological variables, increased oxygen intake, fitness factor, molecular adaptations, and genetic adaptations acclimatization. The main objective of altitude training and team sport is to present cutting –edge research on the basic & applied aspects of altitude training to enhance match related performance in team sport. Exercise and training in hypoxic environment includes neuromuscular metabolic and cardiac vascular adaption. Despite the limited research on the effects of altitude (or hypoxic) training interventions on team-sport performance, players from all around the world engaged in these sports are now using altitude training more than ever before. In March 2013, an Altitude Training and Team Sports conference was held in Doha, Qatar, to establish a forum of research and practical insights into this rapidly growing field.
