Improved running economy in elite runners after 20 days of simulated moderate-altitude exposure

To investigate the effect of altitude exposure on running economy (RE), 22 elite distance runners [maximal O 2 consumption (V̇o 2 ) 72.8 ± 4.4 ml·kg -1 ·min -1 ; training volume 128 ± 27 km/wk], who were homogenous for maximal V̇o 2 and training, were assigned to one of three groups: live high (simu...
