Abstract

Background. Intermittent hypoxia exposure (IHE), an alternative to altitude training for athletes, may be beneficial to improve the quality of live due to the different adaptations in the organism that are provided. However, it’s already unknown the effects that this technique has in population at risk as elderly. The aim of this communication is to propose a harmless protocol of IHE to investigate how it could help elderly people to improve their health. Method. Ten healthy female subjects (age 18-21 years, residents at sea level) were invited for a 4-week protocol of IHE. They were randomly assigned to either hypoxic group (GH) or normoxic group (GN). Every week the 5 people who conformed the GH carried out a 50-minute session with 5-minute hypoxic intervals (SatO2 = 80±5) alternating 5-minute normoxic intervals. Red blood data and O2 concentration needed to unsaturate till 80 value were measured. Results. None of data about red blood were significantly varied. The O2 concentration were each lower to get needed SatO2 during the protocol (-9,2%). Conclusions. The protocol used is not long enough to reach adaptations to high altitude, nor healthy improvements. However, it’s enough to provoke an acute adaptation to hypoxia stimulus, so it’s a good start for researching about IHE protocols and elderly population and other groups considered at risk.
