Intermittent normobaric hypoxia (IH) is increasingly used to pre-acclimatize for a sojourn to high altitude. There is a number of hypoxia - protocols observing the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR), but little is known about the carry - over quality of the Lake Louise Score (LLS). We thus studied a week - long, 1 h per day poikilocapnic hypoxia protocol on whether acclimatization could be carried over for one week.

Background: The present study investigated the effects of chronic sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) ingestion on a single bout of high-intensity exercise and on acid-base balance during 7-day high-altitude exposure.

Methods: Ten recreationally active subjects participated in a pre-test at sea level and a 7-day hiking tour in the Swiss Alps up to 4554 m above sea level. Subjects received either a daily dose of 0.

Preacclimatization in hypoxic chambers for high altitude sojourns.

Introduction: Since hypoxic chambers are more and more available, they are used for preacclimatization to prepare for sojourns at high altitude. Since there are different protocols and the data differ, there is no general consensus about the standard how to perform preacclimatization by simulated altitude. The paper reviews the different types of exposure and focuses on the target groups which may benefit from preacclimatization.

Use of a hypobaric chamber for pre-acclimatization before climbing Mount Everest.

Climbing Mount Everest needs an acclimatization period of 3 to 4 weeks between 3000 and 6000 m. In order to reduce this period of time spent in dangerous conditions, an experience of pre-acclimatization was performed with 5 elite alpinists (4 male, 1 female), aged 30 +/- 4 yrs (mean +/- SD), before their attempt to climb Mount Everest. Subjects first remained one week on Mont-Blanc (between 4350 and 4807 m), then spent a total of 38 hours in a hypobaric chamber (in 4 consecutive days) from 5000 to 8500 m standard altitude.
