Langfristige höhenanpassung in den Bolivianischen Anden
(Österreichische Gesellschaft für Alpin- und Höhenmedizin, 1995)
SUMMARY.
The present report gives basic facts on geography, population and history of the Andean region of Bolivia. Based on research carried out at the Instituto Boliviano de Biología de Altura (I.B.B.A.), Universidad ...
The importance of socioeconomic and nutritional conditions rather than altitude on the physical growth of prepubertal Andean highland boys
(Annals of Human Biology, 1994)
Summary.
The aim of this work was to study the effect of hypoxic stress on the physical growth of prepubertal Bolivian boys (10-11.5 years of age) of the same socioeconomic and nutritional conditions. The subjects consisted ...
Effect of chronic hypoxia and socioeconomic status on the maximal oxygen uptake of 10- to 12-year-old Bolivian boys
(J. Sports Med., 1994)
Abstract.
The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of altitude and socioeconomic status on the maximal oxygen uptake (VO₂max) of prepubertal Bolivian boys. The subjects were 143 prepubertal boys (10 to 11.5 years ...
Effects of chronic hypoxia and exercise on plasma erythropoietin in high-altitude residents
(American Physiological Society, 1993)
Abstract
The present study was performed to evaluate the effects of chronic inspiratory hypoxia and its combination with physical exercise on plasma erythropoietin concentration ([EPO]). Eight natives from the Bolivian ...
Anthropometric and bioenergetic characteristics in highland Bolivian children of high and low socio-economic status
(Masson, 1992)
Abstract.
The aim of this study was to compare the biometric and bioenergetic characteristics of
high-attitude Bolivian children of high and low socio-economic status. The sample consisted
of 67 children (11 years old) ...
Dietary intake and physical activity of Bolivian schollboys at high altitude
(Masson, 1992)
A population of about 50 schoolboys from 10-12 years old living in the city of La Paz - Bolivia at an
altitude between 3600 and 4100 m are studied. Food consumption and physical activity is measured by 24-hours interviews. ...
Physical fitness of children resident at high altitude in Bolivia
(Int. J. Sports Med., 1992)
Abstract.
1) Maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max) varies from 35 to 45 ml . min-1 . kg-1 and maximal heart rate from I88 to 194 beats . min-1. These values are lower than those of their counterparts at low altitude (LA) ...
Muscle tissue adaptations of high-altitude natives to training in chronic hypoxia or acute normoxia
(American Physiological Society, 1996)
Abstract.
Twenty healthy high-altitude natives, residents of La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 m), participated in 6 wk of endurance exercise training on bicycle ergometers, 5 times/wk, 30 min/session, as previously described in ...
Effects of exercise on plasma erythropoietin in natives living permanently at high altitude
(Springer Verlag, 1992)
Abstract.
The effects of inspiratory hypoxia on the erythropoietin (EPO) system decisively depend on the duration of the exposure to the hypoxic environment. Whereas a stay of some hours in a hypobaric chamber leads to ...
The effect of altitude on the anaerobic power of bolivian boys of high and low socio-economic status
(Int. J. Sports Med., 1992)
