The importance of personalization in high altitude protocols for hematologic and metabolic benefits in sports: A multi-dimensional N-of-1 case study.

ABSTRACT: The hematologic and metabolic benefits of high altitude exposure have been extensively studied in athletes due to their promising performance enhancing effects. However, despite the increased research and development of various high altitude protocols for achieving peak performance, the reproducibility of the results at the individual level remains sparse. To systematically address this limitation and establish a more effective method to achieve consistent results at the individual level, we conducted a multi-dimensional study of one elite endurance athlete in two Phases. In Phase 1, we applied the standard protocol of LHTH (Live-High-Train-High) using a commercially available, at-home, normobaric, high altitude simulation tent under the SHTL (Sleep-High-Train-Low) model. Then, we develope
