Does Elevation Mask and front foot position increase pitching velocity? Ep154

Would love to see this discussion with camera pointed at the lead leg for illustration

I agree.

The problem with those masks is that they ONLY restrict oxygen and do so ONLY during the time wearing them. Distance runners training in height, are subject to different atmosphere pressure (sure, oxygen concentration is lower, but not the only thing). Actually, the training centre is at lower altitude than the dorms, because ideally you'd want to train at sea level and live/sleep at high altitude. You want to improve your maxVO2 capacity? Better use of your money would be to build an hyperbaric capsule and sleep in it. Come to think about it, using the mask during workouts would be actually the opposite of altitude training lol
