Athletic training at high altitude
This is an excerpt from the paper...
Athletic training at high altitude takes a while for your body to adjust to (2). Respiratory rate and heart rate speed up to offset the lower partial pressure of oxygen, and the faster breathing rate changes the acid/base balance of the body. These are immediate changes. Longer term changes include: decreased maximum cardiac output; increased number of red blood cells; excretion of base by kidneys to correct acid-base balance; a chemical change in red blood cells to aid unloading of oxygen in the tissues; and an increased number of mitochondria and oxidative enzymes. Workouts have to be slower until these adjustments take place. American runner Suzy Favor Hamilton sleeps in a hypoxic tent, which simulates the atmospheric oxygen concentration of oxygen at high altitudes (1). Breathing less oxygen than is normally present in the atmosphere forces h
