Key result
Prolonged exposure to high altitude (4,350 m) did not significantly impair the restoration of muscle power during repeated sprints, with mean power output decreasing by 10.7% vs 6.9% at sea level.

Preserved sprint power recovery at altitude supports training continuity; leaves open mechanisms of anaerobic resilience under hypoxia.

Absolute Event Rate: 10.7% vs 6.9%
Prolonged exposure to high altitude does not significantly impair the restoration of muscle power during repeated sprints, despite limiting aerobic processes during early recovery.
Robach et al. (1997) studied this question. Prolonged exposure to high altitude (4,350 m) vs. Sea level was evaluated on Decrease in mean power output (MPO) between first and second Wingate tests. Prolonged exposure to high altitude (4,350 m) did not significantly impair the restoration of muscle power during repeated sprints, with mean power output decreasing by 10.7% vs 6.9% at sea level.
