“…When acutely exposed to moderate or in particular to high altitude, however, low exercise VE and reduced SpO 2 may be detrimental to performance, which was demonstrated to be more pronounced in individuals with higher aerobic capacity ( Ferretti et al, 1997 ; Burtscher et al, 2006 ). Hence, VE, SpO 2 and performance may faster recover with acclimatization in highly trained individuals ( Mellerowicz et al, 1971 ; Johnston and Turner, 1974 ; Burtscher et al, 2006 ). Not only the elevated HVR during a prolonged stay at high altitude but also increase of the HCVR (response to CO 2 ) may contribute to exercise hyperventilation and prevention of pronounced SpO 2 and performance decline ( Sato et al, 1992 ).…”

It was the Summer Olympic Games 1968 held in Mexico City (2,300 m) that required scientists and coaches to cope with the expected decline of performance in endurance athletes and to establish optimal preparation programs for competing at altitude. From that period until now many different recommendations for altitude acclimatization in advance of an altitude competition were proposed, ranging from several hours to several weeks. Those recommendations are mostly based on the separate consideration of the physiology of acclimatization, psychological issues, performance changes, logistical or individual aspects, but there is no review considering all these aspects in their entirety. Therefore, the present work primarily focusses on the period of altitude sojourn prior to the competition at altitude based on physiological and psychological aspects complemented by nutritional and sports practical considerations.

Abstract: An individual's adaptation to altitude and the likely improvement in sea level performance resulting from it are not easily predicted from a knowledge of his sea-level performances. In Mellerowicz's study (Table I)
