Abstract

The study of the tolerability of a bicycle exercise test before and after normobaric hypoxic training (NHT) in different regimens was conducted to assess the influence of NHT on the state of the physical working capacity of healthy individuals. A biocybernetic approach allowing the assessment of the dynamics of the physiological variables during the performance of the load test was proposed for a detailed determination of the physiological cost of muscle activity. Hypoxic training was shown to significantly increase the tolerance of physical work, especially when more “strenuous” NHT regimes were used. The high information content of dynamic physiological criteria for assessing the physical working capacity was revealed.
