HBO's 24-7 - "Road to Donaire-Rigondeaux" Airing

You don't need to for a sport like boxing, normal levels are more than enough for the aerobic component of boxing. For a pure endurance athlete like a tour de france cyclist it's going to make a far bigger difference on performance. The higher your RBC the greater the viscosity (thickness) of your blood meaning the greater risk for heart problems/stroke. High altitude does stimulate higher RBC levels but there is no use in doing that if the quality (intensity) of your training is affected, the problems outweigh the benefits. That's where the train low-sleep high thing came in, the best of both worlds. The longer you do that for the greater the benefits and the longer they last at sea level. The benefits in RBC do drop off relatively quickly at sea level, it is a short boost.
If you're competing at high altitude in an endurance event then you should be training at high altitude to acclimatise. Endurance athletes who are born and train at high altitudes for years seem to have those benefits more or less permanently when competing at sea level.
Doing it for a couple of months isn't going to do anything, training in hypoxic conditions every now and then like Donaire is doing is going to do absolutely nothing. And if he did do it a lot he would lose strength and high intensity endurance. Boxing isn't the sport for it even if you're doing it right (Donaire isn't).

 

Actually boxing involves both aerobic and anaerobic endurance

The general consensus is there's not enough research to conclusively say whether or not IHT improves athletic performance. So for you to act like it's a scam is uncalled for.

There's no 2nd episode, it's a one-off.

 

Buddy, EVERYTHING involves both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems.
The evidence so far shows that train high live low would make no difference to an athlete in Donaires position, even in a sport where it would be more appropriate there's nothing to suggest it helps. If you understand the physiology even slightly you know why. I'm not saying it's a scam, I'm saying that Conte who's never been to school is acting like he's a professional in a field and prescribing things that have no scientific evidence behind them.

 

Milpitas do you have a ****ing life?

 

Someone in Rigo's camp pulled a fish out of water and Rigo called it Nonito, but I actually think it was the guy who's gonna be fighting Canelo Next.

 

Did you know that a tour the france cyclist is at intensity levels where Epo effetcts on blood matters only a very very small fraction of a race? So small that research papers question that EPO has an effect at all for cyclists. Just like in boxing I might add.
But it doesn't matter what theory says. EPO helps you in boxing and cyling. It doesn't matter if we completely understand how or not.
But forget about that. In many or perhaps most cases you cannot trust research results to predict the results for the individual. Because, and you'd do well to learn the following if you're aspiring to be good at your profession, variation is ubiquitous in nature. This is nothing esotherical, this is absolutely basic to the life sciences.

To sum, it means that what works for me, works. But maybe not for you.

 

I was wondering....is this fight on PPV or not?

 

Thanks for the info!
