Who does a permanent move from sea level to a high altitude effect red blood cell count?

Hemostasis would increase the number of RBCs in circulation to allow for enough transport of oxygen. This also happens in smokers, (to compensate for the loss of functional lung surface) when smokers move to high altitude, they have less "buffer" to compensate. Populations living in high altitudes have developed a number of adaptations to cope with the lack of oxygen (compared to sea level). Among which increased lung capacity and more effective red blood cells.


What are the benefits of altitude?

Long distance runners who train at high altitude develop greater lung capacity relative to those who train at or near sea level. Consequently, when these high altitude runners compete with runners from lower altitudes, they have an advantage regardless of whether they compete at lower or higher altitudes.

Why do sprinters prefer to compete at high altitudes?

An athlete training at a high altitude will perform better than one who trains at a low altitude because of increased lung capacity. At a higher altitude there is less oxygen, so an athlete that trains at a higher altitude will use air more efficiently.
