- Improves anaerobic capacity & endurance at high exertion
- Up to 15% increase in O2 carrying capacity & efficiency, especially with repeated use
- Increases Lactate Threshold = measure of fitness
- Increases VO2 max, amount of O2 body can hold, more power, more endurance
- Increases mitochondria in muscle cells to provide more efficient energy conversion
- Increases muscle capillaries to improve O2 delivery
- Increases EPO in blood (naturally & legally!)
- Improves hematocrit and hemoglobin levels
- Increases red blood cell count, thus more O2 to muscles & better performance
- Increases blood volume, thus more blood pumped per heartbeat & better performance
and less fatigue
