Permormance of altitude acclimatized and non-acclimatized professional football (soccer) players at 3,600 M
(Journal of Exercise Physiology, 2000-04-02)
European football (soccer)
matches frequently are played at the international level in mountainous regions of South America. In this study, the exercise
response during cycle ergometry and the rate of football match ...
Salivary progesterone levels and rate of ovulation are significantly lower in poorer than in better-of urban-dwelling Bolivian women
(Human Reproduction, 2002)
Agriculturalists in less-developed countries (LDC) have lower progesterone levels than urban industrialized populations. However, it is unknown if urban LDC populations are also relatively lower. We tested whether urban ...
Seasonal and circadian variation in salivary testosterone in rural Bolivian men
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2009-02-19)
Abstract.
Testosterone (T) plays a key role in the increase and maintenance of muscle mass and bone density in
adult men. Life history theory predicts that environmental stress may prompt a reallocation of such investments ...
Coca chewing for exercise : hormonal and metabolic responses of nonhabitual chewers
(Journal of Applied Physiology, 1996)
Abstract.
To determine the effects of acute coca use on the hormonal and metabolic responses to exercise, 12 healthy nonhabitual coca users were submitted twice to steady-state exercise (∼75% maximal O2 uptake). On one ...
Total lung capacity in young highlanders of Aymara ancestry
(American Journal of Physical Anthroplogy, 1994)
ABSTRACT.
Total lung capacity (TLC) and its components, including residual volume (RV) and vital capacity (VC), are described in a sample of 164 male and 143 female youths of Aymara ancestry (10.0-19.9 years) who were ...
Body fluid homeostasis and cardiovascular adjustments during submaximal exercise : inlfuence of chewing coca leaves
(Eur J Appl Physiol, 1997)
Abstract.
The present study was undertaken to determine the haematological and cardiovascular status, at rest and during prolonged (1 h) submaximal exercise (approximately 70% of peak oxygen uptake in a group (n = 12) of ...
Effect of developmental and ancestral high-altitude exposure on chest morphology and pulmonary function in andean and european/north american natives
(American Journal of Human Biology, 1999)
Abstract.
Chest depth, chest width, forced vital capacity (FVC), and forced expiratory volume (FEV1) were measured in 170 adult males differing by ancestral (genetic) and developmental exposure to high altitude (HA). A ...
Effect of developmental and ancestral high-altitude exposure on VO2peak of andean and european/north american natives
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1999)
ABSTRACT.
Peak oxygen consumption (V02peak) was measured in 150 adult males (18-35 years old) in Bolivia, using a complete migrant study design to partition developmental from ancestral (genetic) effects of high altitude ...
