Ozgur (Oz) Begen: The benefits of altitude training for runners.

High altitude training is a simple phenomenon which entails working out in a limited-oxygen environment. Exposure to such settings challenges the human body to produce the required amount of energy to perform exercise. Working out under such condition stimulates production of red blood cells and hence improved oxygen propagation through the body. The intended purpose is to ensure efficient use of the available amount of oxygen, which translates to enhanced stamina and explosive strength. The Melbourne Altitude Training centre is the vision of internationally acclaimed athlete, Ozgur Begen, who has proven track record in pole vaulting, weightlifting, gymnastics and other team sports. Ozgur is now a certified physical trainer, with more than 20 years of experience in coaching and training that include professional involvement and active participation at the University of Melbourne, Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) and Grand Hyatt Melbourne City Club.  Oz joins us to talk about the benefits of high altitude training.
