Im not an expert but at college (16-18 so high school age in America) we learnt that this happens when people blood dope, or use EPO, so it would figure that the same negative side affects would be present here. Though probably no where near as bad
From the sounds of it (could be my ignorance speaking here) then this is just a form of simulating high altitude training? In ehich case this isnt rare at all but I'm curious to know if there's a difference when actually living in high altitude and training as opposed to just training in a simulated environment. Seems like it'd be harsh on the heart going from "high" to "low" off and on all the time as opposed to acclimating your body over a period of time... Could be wrong, just trying to make sense of it from what I do know/common sense.
