NCT ID NCT07612956

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study will test 20 adolescent male rowers aged 12-19 to see how a 4-week altitude training program changes their athletic performance, body composition, and heart and lung function. Researchers will also check if a rower's biological maturity level affects how they adapt to training. The goal is to learn how to better tailor altitude training for young athletes.
