Background:

Interval hypoxic training (IHT) is a method involving repeated exposures to hypoxia interspersed with recovery periods.
It has potential applications in sports training, altitude acclimatization, and managing clinical conditions like coronary heart disease.

Purpose of the Study:

To examine the effects of intermittent hypoxia (IH).
To compare the effects of IH with traditional IHT.
To explore the mechanisms, potential benefits, and limitations of IH.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature on intermittent hypoxia (IH) and interval hypoxic training (IHT).
Analysis of physiological responses to varying hypoxic stimuli (repetition rate, duration, intensity).

Main Results:

IH can alter oxygen transport, energy utilization, and cardiovascular control.
IHT has been shown to increase hypoxic ventilatory response, red blood cell count, and aerobic capacity.
Potential benefits for specific physiological and pathological conditions were noted.

Conclusions:

Intermittent hypoxia (IH) presents interesting potential applications.
Further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms, potentials, and limitations.
