Calculadora de Efecto del Entrenamiento en Altitud — Fórmula
## Altitude Training Effects
Training at altitude (1,800-2,500 m) stimulates red blood cell production, potentially improving sea-level endurance performance.
### VO2max Reduction at Altitude
**% Reduction = (Altitude - 1500) x 0.0074**
This approximation starts reducing VO2max above 1,500 m. At 2,400 m, expect about a 6-7% reduction. After returning to sea level, athletes typically see a 1-3% performance improvement lasting 2-4 weeks.
### Expected Benefit
**Post-Camp Benefit = Camp Duration (weeks) x ~0.5%**
A 3-week camp at optimal altitude may yield 1-2% improvement.

Ejemplo Resuelto
An athlete with 55 mL/kg/min VO2max trains at 2,400 m for 3 weeks.
- VO2max reduction = (2400 - 1500) x 0.0074 = 6.66%
- Altitude VO2max = 55 x (1 - 0.0666) = 51.3 mL/kg/min
- Expected post-camp benefit = 3 x 0.5 = 1.5%
