Abstract	This study aimed to determine whether brief hypoxic stimuli in a hypobaric chamber are able to elicit erythropoietin (EPO) secretion, and to effectively stimulate erythropoiesis in the short term. In two different experiments, a set of haematological, biochemical, haemorheological, aerobic performance, and medical tests were performed in two groups of healthy subjects. In the first experiment, the mean plasma concentration of EPO ([EPO]) increased from 8.7 to 13.5 mU · ml−1 (55.2%; P < 0.01) after 90 min of acute exposure at 540 hPa, and continued to rise until a peak was attained 3 h after the termination of hypoxia. In the second experiment, in which subjects were exposed to a simulated altitude of up to 5500 m (504 hPa) for 90 min, three times a week for 3 weeks, all haematological indicators of red cell mass increased significantly, reaching the highest mean values at the end of the programme or during the subsequent 2 weeks, including packed cell volume (from 42.5 to 45.1%; P < 0.01), red blood cell count (from 4.55 × 106 to 4.86 × 106 · l−1; P < 0.01), reticulocytes (from 0.5 to 1.4%; P < 0.01), and haemoglobin concentration (from 14.3 to 16.2 g · dl−1; P < 0.01), without an increase in blood viscosity. Arterial blood oxygen saturation during hypoxia was improved (from 60% to 78%; P < 0.05). Our most relevant finding is the ability to effectively stimulate erythropoiesis through brief intermittent hypoxic stimuli (90 min), in a short period of time (3 weeks), leading to a lower arterial blood desaturation in hypoxia. The proposed mechanism for these haematological and functional adaptations is the repeated triggering effect of EPO production caused by the intermittent hypoxic stimuli.
