Context. Hypoxic exposure has been associated with a metabolic perturbation that might affect basal energy expenditure (BEE). Objective. The aim was to examine the metabolic response during hypoxic exposure of men and women adults. Design. Crossover design with two experimental trials: normoxic and hypoxic exposure. Subjects and Methods. Twenty-nine healthy subjects (14 women) participated in (1) control study ...
Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of four types of re-warm-up (R-WU) activity, namely rest in normoxia (RN) at FiO2 = 20.9%, rest in hypoxia (RH) at FiO2 = 15%, activity (4 × 5 jumps/15 s) in normoxia (AN) and activity in hypoxia (AH) on physical performance. Ten elite male rugby players completed a 15-min warm-up followed by one of the 15-min randomized R-WU strategies. After R-WU, coun...
