Developmental, genetic, and environmental components of aerobic capacity at high altitude
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1995)
Abstract.
The aerobic capacity of 268 subjects (158 males and 110 females) was evaluated in La Paz, Bolivia situated at 3,750 m. The sample included 1) 39 high altitude rural natives (all male); 2) 67 high altitude urban ...
The impact of altitude on the sleep of young elite soccer players (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-01-28)
Abstract.
Background: Altitude training is used by elite athletes
to improve sports performance, but it may also disrupt
sleep. The aim of this study was to examine the effects
of 2 weeks at high altitude on the sleep ...
The sleep of elite athletes at sea level and high altitude : a comparison of sea-level natives and high-altitude natives (ISA3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-09-03)
Abstract.
Background: Altitude exposure causes acute sleep
disruption in non-athletes, but little is known about its
effects in elite athletes. The aim of this study was to
examine the effects of altitude on two groups ...
Predicting sickness during a 2-week soccer camp at 3600 m (ISA 3600)
(Br J Sports Med, 2013-08-23)
Abstract.
Objectives. To examine the time course of changes in
wellness and health status markers before and after
episodes of sickness in young soccer players during a
high-altitude training camp (La Paz, 3600 ...
Hemoglobin concentration of high-altitude Tibetans and Bolivian Aymara
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 1998)
Abstract.
Elevated hemoglobin concentrations have been reported for high-altitude sojourners and Andean high-altitude natives since early in the 20th century. Thus, reports that have appeared since the 1970s describing ...
Graduated effects of high-altitude hypoxia and highland ancestry on birth size
(Pediatric Research, 2013-10-02)
Background: We present a cohort of ca. 25,000 birth
records from Bolivia of men and women who are currently
adults. We used this cohort to test the hypothesis that high
altitude reduces birth weight and that highland ...
Higher arterial oxygen saturation during submaximal exercise in bolivian aymara compared to european sojourners and europeans born and raised at high altitude
(American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2000)
Abstract.
Arterial oxygen saturation (SaO(2)) was measured at 3,600-3,850 m by pulse oximetry at rest and during submaximal exercise in three study groups: 1) highland Aymara natives of the Bolivian altiplano (n = 25); ...
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 ...
Dopaminergic metabolism in carotid bodies and high altitude acclimatization in female rats
(Am J Physiol Relulatory, 2002-04)
We tested
the hypothesis that ovarian steroids stimulate breathing
through a dopaminergic mechanism in the carotid bodies (CB). In
ovariectomized female rats raised at sea level, domperidone,
a peripheral D2 receptor ...
Pulmonary nitric oxide in mountain dwellers
(NATURE, 2001-11-22)
Nitric oxide is synthesized in the lungs to help regulate blood flow, and its levels have been found to drop in
species native to low altitudes, including
humans, upon acute exposure to reduced
oxygen concentration1–3. ...
