High-altitude natives demonstrate better preservation of pulmonary gas exchange, higher diffusing capacity, and better buffering of lactic acid during exercise at 5,260 m compared to acclimatized lowlanders.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
High-altitude natives may exhibit superior gas exchange during maximal exercise; cross-sectional data leaves open mechanisms and precludes practice change.
Wagner et al. (2002) studied this question.
