What factors would an athlete have to consider if he or she were training or competing at a high altitude location?

The theory behind high altitude athletic training is that since there is less oxygen present in high altitudes, athletes must train their bodies to be able to handle less oxygen by producing more red blood cells to carry the necessary oxygen. Oxygen is also depleted in the blood and muscles through strenuous activity. Therefore, by training at a high altitude, an athlete can expect to perform better at a lower altitude.

What is the long term effect of athletic training on RBC count?
The more we use our skeletal muscles, the more oxygen they need. This causes an increase in rbc count because rbcs carry the oxygen. If an athlete trains at high altitude, the rbc count will increase even more because the body compensates for the lower oxygen level at high altitude by increasing rbc count even more. This is sometimes referred to as 'packing'.

What is blood poping and how does it work?
Blood doping is the process of injecting extra blood to result in a higher heamoglobin level. This improves oxygen carrying capacity and endurance.
