Yes it does!

If a runner trains at a high altitude the number or red blood cells in the body increase allowing the person to take in more oxygen

another thing is that high altitude causes breathlessness and can cause altitude sickness such as feeling terribly sick, faint, tired, dehydrated

many climbers and serious hikers find his a problem!
