Difference between Altitude training and Blood doping

Altitude training vs. Blood doping

Altitude training is the practice by some endurance athletes of training for several weeks at high altitude, preferably over above sea level, though more commonly at intermediate altitudes due to the shortage of suitable high-altitude locations. Blood doping is the practice of boosting the number of red blood cells in the bloodstream in order to enhance athletic performance.

Similarities between Altitude training and Blood doping

Altitude training and Blood doping have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Endurance, Erythropoietin, Hypoxia-inducible factors, Oxygen, Polycythemia, Red blood cell, VO2 max.

Endurance

Endurance (also related to sufferance, resilience, constitution, fortitude, and hardiness) is the ability of an organism to exert itself and remain active for a long period of time, as well as its ability to resist, withstand, recover from, and have immunity to trauma, wounds, or fatigue.

Erythropoietin

Erythropoietin (EPO), also known as hematopoietin or hemopoietin, is a glycoprotein cytokine secreted by the kidney in response to cellular hypoxia; it stimulates red blood cell production (erythropoiesis) in the bone marrow.

Hypoxia-inducible factors

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that respond to decreases in available oxygen in the cellular environment, or hypoxia.

Oxygen

Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8.

Polycythemia

Polycythemia (also known as polycythaemia or polyglobulia) is a disease state in which the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells in the blood) is elevated.

Red blood cell

Red blood cells-- also known as RBCs, red cells, red blood corpuscles, haematids, erythroid cells or erythrocytes (from Greek erythros for "red" and kytos for "hollow vessel", with -cyte translated as "cell" in modern usage), are the most common type of blood cell and the vertebrate's principal means of delivering oxygen (O2) to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system.

VO2 max

VO2 max (also maximal oxygen consumption, maximal oxygen uptake, peak oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic capacity) is the maximum rate of oxygen consumption measured during incremental exercise (exercise of increasing intensity).

Altitude training and Blood doping Comparison

Altitude training has 50 relations, while Blood doping has 81. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 5.34% = 7 / (50 + 81).
