Autonomic adaptations in Andean trained participants to a 4220-m altitude marathon
Article Abstract:
The effects of training status on the autonomic control of the heart in Andean high-altitude native residents are shown. Because trained Andean high-altitude natives could perform a high-altitude marathon (4220 m above sea level) in 02:27:23 h, it is concluded that living in chronic hypoxia does not limit the training-induced benefits on the autonomic modulation of the heart.

Comparative response of EPO and soluble transferrin receptor at high altitude
Article Abstract:
Soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) during high-altitude exposure in human is investigated and verified that sTfR was related to erythropoietin (EPO) response. It is concluded that sTfR mirrors EPO response for a given level of altitude hypoxia but differs from EPO response during transitory phases, such as early acclimatization or reoxygenation.

Effect of acute hypoxia on maximal exercise in trained and sedentary women
Article Abstract:
The physiological responses of sedentary and endurance-trained female subjects during maximal exercise at different levels of acute hypoxia are determined. The results demonstrate that endurance-trained women show a greater decrement in VO(sub 2max) at high altitudes.
