The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
We know if we put athletes on a treadmill or bike in a hypoxic environment and give them glucose, that the performance-enhancing effects of glucose are not observed in hypoxia, which is kind of, you know, interesting. Whereas it's also shown that there may be an inhibition under hypoxic environments of pyruvate dehydrogenase. There might be some PDH deficiency or some snag or bottleneck in the metabolic pathway associated with glycolytic energy production under hypoxia.
