Values are expressed as means ± standard deviations. CI, confidence interval; EPO, erythropoietin; Hb, hemoglobin; Hct, hematocrit; HTG, hypoxic training group; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; NTG, normoxic training group; RBC, red blood cells. Significant interaction or main effect: † p < 0.05; Significant difference before and after training: * p < 0.05.
