Effect of intermittent hypoxic training on 20 km time trial and 30 s anaerobic performance
Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 09/30/09

Hamlin MJ et al. – During the time trial, the IHT participants' blood lactate concentration, respiratory exchange ratio, and SpO2, relative to the placebo group, was substantially increased at 2 days post–intervention. The addition of IHT to the normal training program of well–trained athletes produced worthwhile gains in 30 s sprint performance possibly through enhanced glycolysis.

The results of this study suggest that anaerobic performance may also benefit from such training possibly through enhanced glycolysis.
