has anyone experimented with that type of hypoxic training? glad the hear feedback, roy This is the polar opposite of training with supplemental oxygen. I think the hypothesis is that you can train harder with additional oxygen. I have seen it done with actual supplemental oxygen (oxygen mask on a trainer or even using a small tank, as done by the U.S. long track skater in the late 1990's early 2000's). The cruder method is to sleep and recover at altitude, but go down to sea level to train. The big dollar solution is an altitude tent. I think the benefit of this approach is pretty well established, so it seems unlikely that restricted oxygen supply would be very beneficial.
