Primary Information, Benefits, Effects, and Important Facts
Scientific Information on Exercise Performance During Hypoxia
Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect exercise performance during hypoxia
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The more
evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Outcome |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Nitrate |
Minor
|
Very High See 2 studies |
Appears to preserve exercise performance during insufficient oxygen, but not to a remarkable degree
|
|
|
Garlic | - | - See study |
Large doses of garlic (4.5g of the bulb) to athletes undergoing hypoxic training does not appear to increase performance.
