Purpose This study tested whether 3–4 weeks of classical “Live High–Train High” (LHTH) altitude training increases swim-specific VO 2max through increased hemoglobin mass (Hb mass ). Methods Ten swimmers lived and trained for more than 3 weeks between 2,130 and 3,094 m of altitude, and a control gro...
