Abstract
“Live High - Train Low” Altitude Training for Endurance Performance
Coaches and athletes alike are constantly striving for training strategies to provide an advantage over their competitors. Altitude training is an integral part of many endurance athlete’s preparation for competition and a common approach to this conditioning strategy is ‘live high train low’ (LHTL) where as the description implies athletes live at altitude to stimulate physiological adaptation but train at sea level so exercise intensity can be maintained and de-conditioning avoided.
