"Living Low - Training High" Methods and Physiological Responses in Well-trained Swimmers
Sponsor: Faculdade de Motricidade Humana
Summary
To overcome the lack of knowledge regarding the impact of different "living low, training high" methods on swimming performance, a 4-week intervention will be carried out to determine and compare the effects of three Repeated Sprints in Hypoxia (RSH) methods with each other and with a control group. Our goal is to characterize and compare the adaptations in swimming performance and in cardiorespiratory, metabolic, and muscle oxygenation responses that can arise after a 4-week training period of RSH and RSN performed in a ski-ergometer.

Interventions
Repeated sprint
* The group will endure four weeks (8 sessions) of the assigned training program in addition to the regular swimming training. * Data collection sessions: All groups will be evaluated before and after the supervised training period in three testing sessions in normoxia separated by at least 24 hours within 7 days. * Training sessions: will be performed in the ski ergometer and consist of 3 sets of 5x10s all-out sprints with 20s and 5 min of passive rest between the sprints and sets, respectively.
