Point: Positive effects of intermittent hypoxia (live high:train low) on exercise performance are mediated primarily by augmented red cell volume

Point: Positive effects of intermittent hypoxia (live high:train low) on exercise performance are mediated primarily by augmented red cell volume

Counterpoint: Positive effects of intermittent hypoxia (live high:train low) on exercise performance are not mediated primarily by augmented red cell volume

To engage in this debate we will address the following questions: what is the change in performance after adaptation to living high and training low (LHTL); what physiological mechanisms could be responsible; what is the evidence that a change in red cell volume (RCV) is one such mechanism; and what
