This paper reports a study testing the effects of intermittent hypoxic training (IHT) on athletic performance. IHT is a training protocol that periodically administers hypoxic air to gain the physiological affects of high altitude. This study involved 12 college aged subjects and were administered the IHT, based on their group, for 15 minutes a day/five days a week/three weeks total. Athletic performance was measured using a VO2max test and an interval maximal running test. Both blood draws and lactate were taken to measure the effects of IHT. The four variables were taken pre and post IHT. Results were analyzed using a series of 2x2 (Group x Time) mixed model analysis of variance with repeated measures on the second factor. VO2max values were non-significant, blood hemoglobin and interval maximal running times were trending towards significance, and blood lactate values were significant. This paper reports limitations, and future direction for this research.
