Living for Six Days at 2200 M Improves Time-Trial Performance of Sea-Level Residents Exposed to 4300 M

Abstract

The overall objective of the current project was to determine in previously unacclimatized SLR the effectiveness of staging in minimizing impairments in physical and cognitive performances and reducing acute mountain sickness incidence and severity during subsequent high altitude exposure The data presented here will be focused on the effects of staging at moderate altitude on prolonged endurance performance of SLR during exposure to 4300 m The results from the current study also will be compared to those of our previous two Pikes Peak studies to determine the relative effectiveness of short-term staging to no prior altitude acclimatization and to full moderate altitude acclimatization respectively.
