• Hormonal and metabolic adjustments during exercise in hypoxia or normoxia in highland natives 

      Favier, R; Desplanches, D; Hoppeler, H; Cáceres, E; Grunenfelder, A; Koubi, H; Leuenberger, M; Sempore, B; Tüscher, L; Spielvogel, H (J Appl Physiol, 1996)
      Abstract In sea-level natives, exposure to hypoxia for a few weeks is characterized by an increased dependence on blood glucose and a decreased reliance on lactate for energy metabolism during exercise. These metabolic ...
    • Training in hypoxia vs. training in normoxia in high-altitude natives 

      Favier, R; Spielvogel, H; Desplanches, D; Ferretti, G; Kayser, B; Grunenfelder, A; Leuenberger, M; Tuscher, L; Caceres, E; Hoppeler, H (J Appl Physiol., 1995)
      Abstract. To determine the interactions between endurance training and hypoxia on maximal exercise performance, we performed a study on sedentary high-altitude natives who were trained in normoxia at the same relative ...
