This is a comparison of the various approaches to [[Altitude Training]], their pros and cons. Personally I use a [[DIY Altitude Training|home made altitude system]] for [[Intermittent Hypoxic Exposure]].
==Live High, Train High==
By moving to altitude, you are exposed to lower oxygen all the time. While this approach can have a good effect on altitude acclimatization, it makes training much harder. Therefore the benefit of altitude on increased red blood cell count are offset by the reduced ability to train hard. There is also evidence that LHTH reduces [[Muscle|muscle]] mass<ref name="muscle"/>.
