Live Low – Train High (LL-TH)
Sleeping at Sea level -Training at Altitude
With minimal costs and travel constraints for athletes, the “living low – training high” (LL-TH) approach is becoming an important intervention for modern sport. The popularity of the LL-TH model of altitude training is also associated with the fact that it only causes a slight disturbance to athletes’ usual daily routine, allowing them to maintain their regular lifestyle in their home environment.
Recommendations LL-TH for athletes
(source: T. Meeuwsen 2003)
- The optimal height for training in Altitude depends on the reaction to Altitude and during the training the SPO2 should be controlled.
- On average the training session is about 1 / 1,5 hours at an altitude of 2.700 meters
- 60%–70% of the heart rate reserve
- The optimal time seems 3 till 5 sessions a week for a period of 3 weeks
