A recent study conducted in Uttar Pradesh, India, explored the impact of the "live high-train high" (LHTH) protocol on the physiological training adaptations and athletic performance of middle-long distance runners. The study involved seven trained runners who underwent LHTH training for six weeks at an altitude of 8000ft. The results showed that LHTH training led to improvements in cardio-respiratory variables, iron profile indices, lung function capacities, and performance measures. The researchers concluded that LHTH training at high altitude can enhance aerobic capacity, erythropoiesis, iron metabolism, and other physiological factors, ultimately improving athletic performance.
