The purpose of the study was to investigate the improving aerobic performance factors after altitude training. Nine distance runners volunteer as the subjects. All of the subjects participated a nine weeks experiment period including 3 weeks preparation, 3 weeks altitude training (1891 meters), and 3 weeks sea level training. They took the same training method and same training intensity. All of the subjects had to 4 times of VO2max tests and the 12-min run. Tests were hold at pre-preparation period (PT), before (BT) and after (AT) altitude training, and three weeks after (3WT) altitude training. One way repeated ANOV A was used to analyze the difference among the tests. Turkey post t-test was utilized if F value was a shown significant difference. The alpha level equaled to .05. The finding of the study was as follows: A significant difference (p<.05) was found in both VO2rnax and the 12-min Run among the tests. AT had significant better of the 12 min-run and VO2rnax than that of PT and BT. However, no difference was found between AT and 3WT. Meanwhile, 3WT had a better (p<.05) VO2max and the 12-min run than BT. The result was indicated the altitude is the major factors that effect one’s aerobic performance during the altitude training.
