Subject: Less oxygen to increase endurance?

How could less oxygen mean better endurance? Oxygen is fundamental to life and performance. Less must mean something bad, right?

 

Under the right conditions, less oxygen can lead to positive adaptations.

 

Hypoxia is the scientific term for the condition of reduced oxygen availability, and intermittent normobaric hypoxic training (INHT) is a well-studied strategy for using hypoxia to drive endurance training adaptations. Pavel covers this in the Second Wind express online course:
