Dr. Evan Johnson and Michael Torres, will discuss the effects of a four-week hyperoxic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) intervention on endurance performance, body composition, and physiological markers in acclimatized NCAA Division I cross-country athletes. The session will cover key findings on the impact of hyperoxic training on V̇O₂max, body composition changes, heart rate adaptation, and environmental factors such as CO₂ and oxygen regulation within a controlled hyperoxic chamber. The discussion will also explore the practical implications of live-high, train-low (LHTL) interventions and the challenges of training at altitude, including physiological adaptations, potential performance benefits, and the role of sleep quality in endurance training.
The presentation will highlight novel insights into hyperoxic training, emphasizing how environmental regulation and high-intensity protocols influence aerobic capacity and physiological efficiency. The session will conclude with future directions for optimizing endurance training interventions and improving athlete performance at altitude.
