Spleen as natural EPO: is training effective?

The spleen could potentially be trained as a natural EPO, according to Bicycling.nl. The publication points to research suggesting that athletes can stimulate their spleen to produce more red blood cells, similar to the effect of EPO.

However, it remains uncertain whether this effect is truly measurable. According to the source, there is still little scientific evidence that spleen training actually leads to better performance. It remains a topic of discussion in the sports world.

Bicycling.nl emphasizes that the use of EPO or other doping substances is prohibited, but the question of whether spleen training as a natural method is effective remains. Athletes who are interested are advised to be cautious with such claims.

The spleen plays a role in the immune system and the storage of red blood cells. Whether training has an effect on this is still unclear. Bicycling.nl notes that more research is needed to verify the possible benefits.
