Altitude Training Camp

 

  Welcome to the ABC - the Andrew Bosch Corner of the exercise physiology section. Doctor Andrew Bosch - resident physiologist for Time-to-Run  

In this section the scientific aspects of various topics that interest runners will be discussed. What do the scientific studies tell us about various training techniques and tapering before races; what is the best drink to use when racing, how much should we be drinking? What is the effect of altitude training; what determines running ability? Articles on dehydration; drinking too much; heat exhaustion and acclimatisation will all be covered. These and other questions and topics will be examined in the months to come. If anyone has any interesting ideas as to what should be included, I will be happy to consider the topic for a possible article on this page.
