Key Concepts

Endurance

Endurance refers to the ability to sustain physical activity over extended periods. Enhanced oxygen delivery to muscle tissues, achieved through increased red blood cell production from substances like erythropoietin, is a central factor in improving an athlete's endurance performance.

Erythropoietin (EPO)

Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow. In sports and exercise physiology, its elevated levels increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which is crucial for prolonged physical activities.
