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 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 jet airplanes fly at high altitudes?

Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes because it is more fuel efficient. Flying at higher altitudes uses less fuel than flying at lower altitudes.


How do high altitudes affect temperature?

High altitudes generally have lower temperatures compared to lower altitudes. This is because the air at higher altitudes is less dense and can hold less heat, leading to cooler temperatures.


Why do athelets run at high altitude?

Athletes train at high altitude to improve their aerobic capacity and red blood cell production. The lower oxygen levels at higher altitudes stimulate the body to adapt by producing more red blood cells, which can enhance endurance performance at sea level. Additionally, training at high altitude can also help athletes acclimatize to compete at similar altitudes.
