Training program and energy intake during BN, BH, W1,2,3,4 and Post. BN, baseline in normoxia; BH, baseline in hypoxia; W1,2,3,4, specific training weeks in hypoxia; Post, returning sea level week. Session A: performed on a plateau at 4090 m; 8 km + technique drills + 5 × 80 m accelerations + 20 × 400 m ~ VT2 + 2 km. Recovery reps 75 s. Session B: 2 h ~ VT1. Session C: performed on a plateau at 4090 m; 8 km + technique drills + 5 × 80 m accelerations + 6 × 2000 m ~ VT2 + 2 km. Recovery reps 120 s. Session D: 20 km < VT1 in the morning + 16 km < VT1 in the afternoon. Session E: 16 km < VT1 in the morning + gym session in the afternoon (4 sets × 8 reps recovery sets 150 s at 80% RM). Exercises for resistance session: press bench, close grip, dumbbell press, seated military press and seated cable row). Session F: 20 km < VT1 in the morning + resting afternoon. Session G: Day off. Dash line: Represent mean energy intake (2423 kcal) in normoxic conditions at sea level. Round dot line: Represent mean energy intake (3017 kcal) in hypoxic conditions at 3900 m altitude. Differences from mean energy intake under hypoxic conditions: *** P < 0.001
