It may be because the air is thinner and more demanding on the heart, lungs, and muscles. This would be helpful in a sport where stamina is required.

Why do athletes and people living in high altitude have bradycardia?
high altitute.
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.
What factors would an athlete have to consider if he or she were training or competing at a high altitude location?
The theory behind high altitude athletic training is that since there is less oxygen present in high altitudes, athletes must train their bodies to be able to handle less oxygen by producing more red blood cells to carry the necessary oxygen. Oxygen is also depleted in the blood and muscles through strenuous activity. Therefore, by training at a high altitude, an athlete can expect to perform better at a lower altitude.
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.
What are high speed winds and high altitudes known as?
I think it is winds,speed, and altitude
Can guinea pig survive in high altitude?
I don't think they can survive high altitude. Because they are so small, and when you are in a high altitude your not close to ground, and the air around you is different. And picturing my Guinea Pig in a high altitude is scary enough because she is so small, and fragile, too, lol. But, the main point is, guinea pigs probably can't survive in a high altitude, only different creatures.
Who invented or discovered altitude?
Im not sure who but i think the guy was high at the time...
What is healthier - living at low or high altitude?
High altitude
Can high school athletes be paid to play their sport in a professional commercial?
i think they can get paid.
Why do athletes who live at sea level and then compete at higher altitudes often don't perform as well as those who permanently live at high altitudes?
The simple answer is oxygen starvation. The best athletes train at the higher altitudes because that is where the air is thinner. This forces the human body to work harder, just to expend equivalent energy. People that climb Mt. Everest often suffer from 'altitude sickness' due their lack of conditioning.
What is a high altitude static discharge?
Well I think iM not sure that high altitude discharge its when the charged solar particles acumulate and the lighting occurs and the gorgeuus celestial phenomenon resulting from this effect its the aurora
What is the altitude for the Antarctic?
the altitude is high, around 2194m.
