Article Synopsis
- Hypobaric hypoxia (HH) affects oxygen supply and increases energy demands during exercise, which can influence body composition and metabolic responses.
- A study involving 20 trained men showed that 8 weeks of resistance training in HH led to changes in subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) thickness and serum levels of metabolic cytokines, including reductions in IL-6 and irisin.
- The training in HH also boosted IL-15 levels, which correlated with significant reductions in SAT, indicating that exercising under HH may enhance body composition by altering cytokine profiles.
This study investigated the effect of a resistance training (R) period at terrestrial (HH) and normobaric hypoxia (NH) on both muscle hypertrophy and maximal strength development with respect to the same training in normoxia (N). Thirty-three strength-trained males were assigned to N (FiO = 20.9%), HH (2,320 m asl) or NH (FiO = 15.

Methods: Thirty-three volunteers were assigned an 8-week R program in either N (690 m, n = 10), HH (2320 m, n = 10), or NH (inspired fraction of oxygen = 15.9%; ~ 2320 m, n = 13).
The intensification of the stress response during resistance training (R) under hypoxia conditions could trigger unwanted effects that compromise muscle health and, therefore, the ability of the muscle to adapt to longer training periods. We examined the effect of acute moderate terrestrial hypoxia on metabolic, inflammation, antioxidant capacity and muscle atrophy biomarkers after a single R session in a young male population. Twenty healthy volunteers allocated to the normoxia (N < 700 m asl) or moderate altitude (HH = 2320 m asl) group participated in this study.
