The Impact of Physical Training Under Normobaric Hypoxia on Oxidative Stress Level, Inflammatory State, Intestinal Damage, and Mitochondrial Metabolism in Young Males

Measurement of aerobic capacity (endurance)

Measurement of maximal oxygen uptake and determination of ventilatory thresholds (ergospirometry)

Time frame: 7 days before training and 7-10 days after the training. Training will last 4 weeks.

Measurement of anaerobic capacity

Measurement of maximal anaerobic power (Wingate Anaerobic Test)

Time frame: 7 days before training and 7-10 days after the training. Training will last 4 weeks

Blood analysis

Indicators of prooxidant-antioxidant imbalance, markers of inflammatory status, markers of muscle damage, markers of intestinal damage, HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor), EPO (erythropoietin), markers of mitochondrial metabolism, morphology (including reticulocytes).

Time frame: 7 days before training and 7- 10 days after the training. The training will last 4 weeks and will consist of 12 workouts.

Somatic indices

Body composition analysis ( body height \[m\], body mass \[kg\], Quetelet II Index \[kg/m\^2\], lean body mass \[kg\], fat mass \[kg\], fat percentage \[%\] and total water content \[kg\]

Time frame: 7 days before training and 7-10 days after the training. Training will last 4 weeks.
