Summary

COVID-19 has significantly impacted sports globally, with event postponements, training disruptions, and wide-ranging concerns. SARS-CoV-2 infection can result in hyperinflammation and cardiopulmonary changes, with hypoxia as an aggravating sign. Hypoxia triggers complex immunometabolic mechanisms, including activation of HIF-1α and induction of HLA-G expression. Hypoxia training protocols benefit aerobic capacity and sports performance, with potential immunological impact. Studying immunometabolic markers in this context can improve athletic preparation and athletes' general health.

Conditions

  • Normobaric Hypoxia
  • Hypoventilation
  • Normoxia

Interventions

OTHER

Repeated sprint

* Duration of the study: 8 weeks of participation. * Each repeated sprint training protocol: 2 training sessions per week for 4 weeks. * Collection sessions: 3 collection sessions will be carried out: before the start of the training protocol - T0; at the end of the protocol, in week 4 - T1; and late, 4 weeks after the end of the protocol, in week 8 - T2. * Training sessions: will be carried out on an ergometer and will consist of 3 sets of 5 sprints of 10s all-out with 20s of rest between sprints, and 5 minutes of rest between sets.
