Explaining the motivation behind their research work, Yamagishi says, "Establishing a minimum dose of exercise training to bring about training benefits, such as aerobic fitness, has been one of my main research interests. Due to the support from Prof. Kawakami and other co-authors, along with the collaboration with Waseda University, this unique research work using a multifaceted approach was possible."

However, the combination exercise group improved both aerobic fitness and muscular strength.

Children's body fat increased at a greater rate during the holidays, and aerobic fitness declined faster than during the in-school periods.

The researchers found that simulated high altitude stimulated a large increase in haemoglobin in participants but led to no major changes in their aerobic fitness.

They did not derive the same whole-body benefits from exercise and had diminished aerobic fitness.
