MedAlt proposes the prescription of individualized exercise considering cardiovascular risk evaluation and initial physical condition, in such a way that this practice can be protective and not harmful to their health. MedAlt also will design different training hypoxia protocols in order to improve competitive performance on high altitude and sea levels (which are world trendy these days) optimizing sports achievement to the limit and allow them to stand out in national and international high competitions.
