It was gradu-ally introduced from Russia to other countries and applied to sports training in the 1990s. However, there have been controversies about the practice of intermittent hypoxic training: the sports performance of most testees was not high, or a control group was not set up; it was not widely applied to researches on excellent athletes with a control group set up, and some researches showed that intermittent hypoxic training was unable to enhance sport capacities.
