Effect of five nights of normobaric hypoxia on cardiovascular responses to acute isocapnic hypoxia in humans: Relationship to ventilatory chemosensitivity
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to elucidate the cardiovascular responses to acute isocapnic hypoxia stimuli following five nights of normobaric poikilocapnic hypoxia and whether responses to hypoxia are correlated to the changes in the acute hypoxic ventilatory (AHVR) chemosensitivity. The relationship between the enhanced AHVR and Mean Arterial blood Pressure (MAP) sensitivity raised the possibility of a common pathway in the regulation of peripheral chemosensitivity and MAP responses during periods of isocapnic hypoxia.

The effects of intermittent hypoxic training on aerobic and anaerobic performance
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine whether short-term intermittent hypoxic training would enhance sea level aerobic and anaerobic performance over and above that occurring with equivalent sea level training. It is shown that acute exposure of moderately trained subjects to normobaric hypoxia during a short-term training program consisting of moderate to high-intensity intermittent exercise has no enhanced effect on the degree of improvement in either aerobic or anaerobic performance.

Positive expiratory pressure as a method for preventing the impairment of attentional processes by hypoxia
Article Abstract:
Prolonged hypoxia is known to impair cognitive functions. New research shows that slowing of serial/attentional processing under hypoxia can be attenuated by positive-end-expiratory-pressure (PEEP), and the effects are especially apparent in subjects most sensitive to acute mountain sickness.
