Live-High Train-Low ("LHTL") is a new altitude training method. It is the most popular hypoxic training method used by athletes in order to improve endurance performance (Wilber 2007). It allows hypoxic acclimatisation without the detraining that may occur when training at high altitude (Álveres- Herms et al 2015). This essay will look to explore the main mechanisms behind which LHTL brings about an improvement and discuss whether this leads to an increase in sea level athletic performance. The
