Spleen training as an alternative to EPO: Does it work?

Sports enthusiasts and performance-oriented athletes are always looking for legal ways to improve their endurance. According to an article by Bicycling.nl, training the spleen could be a possible solution. Like EPO, which stimulates the production of red blood cells, the spleen could be a natural way to transport more oxygen.

The spleen plays an important role in the storage and release of red blood cells. Bicycling.nl states that through targeted training, the spleen can release more red blood cells during exertion. This could lead to better oxygen supply to the muscles, resulting in improved performance.

Whether this actually works and whether the spleen can function in the same way as EPO remains a point of research and discussion. Bicycling.nl emphasizes that training the spleen is not yet a proven method, but it is certainly an interesting topic for further study.
