Question

Training at high altitude for performances at sea level may not result in improved performance. Why?

• A. athletes may actually detrain at high altitude.
• B. going back to sea level results in decreased hemoglobin concentration.
• C. the higher air density at sea level offsets any improvements made at altitude
• D. all of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is A athletes may actually detrain at high altitude.

Less Oxygen concentration at high altitudes may lead to detrain of athletes as compared to when the performance is at sea level.
