Annotation:

Themoglobin mass is a genetically determined trait whose growth (by 4-8%) is observed after hypoxic training at an altitude of2100-2500 meters or more above sea level. The growth of hemoglobin mass is positively correlated with an increase in aerobic capacity of an athlete. Thus, hemoglobin mass in contrast to the classical hematological parameters can be used to assess the effectiveness of hypoxic training. The aim of the study was to provide data on the influence of hypoxic training on hemoglobin mass, and to describe technology of hemoglobin mass determination.
