  This is a valid athletic technique. Usually achieved by training at altitude.

    Doesn’t it only work if you then return to a lower altitude? I wonder how long the benefits last for.

    Now that I think about it, I don’t actually know how this even works. Well I know what I’m going to go read about next.

      Its also said that smokers are used to having less oxygen intake so if you throw a smoker and a non smoker on a mountain for a night, the smoker is less likely to get altitude sickness. Long term staying at altitude they’ll no longer have the advantage.

  Big O lackeys are everywhere. They want to keep you alive so they can sell you more O.
