Altitude training and hypoxic exposure represent a multifaceted approach in sports physiology and medical research, where controlled exposure to environments with reduced oxygen availability is used ...

Human athletes have long utilized training at high altitudes to improve their oxygen-carrying capacity, so it should come as no surprise that trainers of equine athletes have tried similar methods.

People who climb too fast or too high risk acute altitude sickness, which can lead to life-threatening hypoxic brain injury. By using in vivo electrochemistry, researchers demonstrated that ...

From restricting blood flow to inhaling deadly gas, cycling’s latest ‘hacks’ blur the line between innovation and insanity.

From left to right, Ginés Viscor, Joan Ramon Torrella and Garoa Santocildes, from the Department of Cell Biology, Physiology and Immunology of the UB’s Faculty of Biology. Muscle injuries are common ...

Muscle injuries are common in the active population, and they cause the majority of player leaves in the world of sport. Depending on the severity, recovery of muscle function is quite slow and may ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, Lewis Zhichang Shi, M.D., Ph.D., and University of Alabama at Birmingham colleagues show, for the first time, how HIF1α in T cells is key for induction ...
