Why the study?
Does 1 h ergocycle exercise at a simulated altitude of 3000 m alter oxygen consumption, lactate accumulation, and sympathetic response compared to sea level in men?

Should not yet change altitude training guidance; leaves open performance effects of elevated lactate in hypoxia.
Does 1 h ergocycle exercise at a simulated altitude of 3000 m alter oxygen consumption, lactate accumulation, and sympathetic response compared to sea level in men?
Prolonged exercise under hypoxia increases blood lactate accumulation without affecting cardiorespiratory and sympathetic responses compared to normoxia.
Bouissou et al. (1987) studied this question.
