Altitude tent

Altitude training can produce increases in speed, strength, endurance, and recovery by maintaining altitude exposure for a significant period of time. A study using simulated altitude exposure for 18 days, yet training closer to sea-level, showed performance gains were still evident 15 days later.

Yeah? You’re not just trying to sell us something are you?

Please give us a link to the study bro, ‘cos I reckon after the C19 lockdown restrictions lift we will be raring to become tent-bound for 18 days, knowing we will then be able to smash out laps on our currently impossible sport climbing projects.
It’d probably help with endurance too, while bolting up the new sportclimb filler and squeeze routes we’ve been dreaming of while cooped up, so win-win all round.
We can hardly wait it sounds so great!

Good luck getting links to studies. Went to their website (the address added to the user location lead me straight there) and the section Science just links a couple of colourful PDF sales brochures with a brief blurb and quote from some unknown guy.

It is pure SPAM, but it's been quiet here, so interested to see if they can provide links to the relevant studies.

And if they appreciate dry grain of salt Aussie humour...

They are supposedly located in Ireland, so think they might cope.

Been a while, but research I've read has been conflicting about which methodology is better as both have negatives.
Sleep high train low - cons poor sleep and need longer than usual 8 hours people sleep for the physiological effects to take place
Sleep low train high - cons compromised training and not enough time at altitude for true adaptions.

Then with either the benefits are lost extremely quickly.

Please post scientific journal's to back up your claims AltitudeTent!

User Altitudetent disabled 17/06/20 due my getting tired of waiting for a reply from them, and them having 3 positive entries (all from Pakistan IP addresses), on Stop Forum Spam database.

Do altitude tents really work?

In do they replicate higher altitudes? Or is there a noticeable improvement in performance?

If interested in the later, plenty of scientific journal's to read through!

Just one study which is Australian compared relatively low altitude training (Thredbo) with others training at Thredbo but also spending 9 hours in an Altitude tent to that of those training at lower elevations and found both variations of altitude training saw improvement over the sea level group.

Note they are not big improvements, but for elite athletes the difference between gold and not podium it could make a difference.

Plenty of references to other studies within that so will offer more reading.
