An Analysis of the Impact of High-Altitude Training on Maximal Oxygen Uptake in Middle-Distance and Long-Distance Runners:A Meta-Analysis
This study utilizes a meta-analysis approach to quantitatively analyze the literature on the effects of high-altitude training on maximal oxygen uptake(VO2 max)in middle-distance and long-distance runners,aiming to explore the common patterns of these effects.The results indicate that different types of high-altitude training can improve the VO2 maxof middle-distance and long-distance runners,with an overall effect size of moderate magnitude(moderate effect size,0.62).Specifically,high-altitude training at altitudes ranging from 1,850 to 2,500 meters(large effect size,0.96)has a more pronounced effect on enhancing VO2 maxcompared to training at altitudes ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 meters(moderate effect size,0.56)and above 3,000 meters(moderate effect size,0.62).In conclusion,high-altitude training at different altitudes can improve the VO2 maxof middle-distance and long-distance runners,with the most significant effect observed in training at altitudes ranging from 1,850 to 2,500 meters.
