The controlled application of hypoxia can be protective and has considerable potential as a therapeutic and performance-enhancing intervention, even though extreme hypoxia has negative health effects. Hypoxia Conditioning in Exercise, Sports, and Health: Fundamentals, Workings, and Uses explains the molecular and systemic mechanisms underlying hypoxia adaptations, looks at the most promising types of hypoxia conditioning to develop performance-boosting techniques for athletes, and provides a review of clinical applications for a variety of diseases. This innovative book explores how beneficial physiological changes can produce long-term health advantages in addition to improving tolerance to hypoxia in an acute manner. This has made it possible to create and improve hypoxia-based methods, often known as hypoxia conditioning, to enhance performance and health outcomes. This collection will be a great resource for students, researchers, exercise science professionals, and sports medicine specialists—particularly those studying environmental physiology and coaching—by connecting research with practical recommendations.
