The main purpose of altitude training and the Oxygen Advantage techniques outlined in this book is to increase red blood cell count. By practising the breath hold exercises outlined in this book, the kidneys increase production of EPO and the spleen releases red blood cells into circulation. Both these effects increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood above normal levels, giving an athlete a competitive edge without the risks and ethical issues of illegal doping. A higher concentration of red blood cells can benefit your sporting performance in several ways, including:
• improving the oxygen-carrying capacity of your blood
• increasing your VO2 max
• extending your endurance potential
