Hypoxia training is emerging as a key lever for optimizing the performance of top-level athletes. But how can it be effectively integrated into sports preparation? What are the most relevant models and methods? What are the concrete benefits for disciplines such as alpine skiing, cycling and fencing?
Program:
This conference brings together experts in the field to provide answers to these questions and share concrete feedback. Grégoire Millet, professor at the University of Lausanne and recognized specialist in training under hypoxic conditions, will present the latest scientific advances and the best application strategies.
Then it’s on to the case studies with Arnaud Rapillard (Next Percent), who will talk about his work with a medal-winning athlete, Patrick Flaction (Elitment), who will share his experience with top-level skiers, and Audrey Chaperon (Elitment), who will talk about national team fencer Angéline Favre, and William Déglise (Swiss Team-Swiss Ski Mountaineering-CAS/SAC), who will present his experiences of integrating hypoxia into the training of young ski-mountaineering athletes.
The evening will close with a convivial aperitif, encouraging exchanges between participants and experts.
Join us to explore the perspectives offered by hypoxia training and enrich your approach to sports performance!
