Adaptations to Altitude  - Increase in Red Blood Cells, Increased Capillarisation, Increased Mitochondria, Oxidative Enzymes,, Hypoxia - Insufficient oxygen available for the body/ tissue., Alternative Altitude Options - Hypoxic Chambers, Sleep High Train Low, Convection - Water or air flowing over the skin and carrying away body heat., High Altitude  - Altitude is the measure of elevation above sea level. Measured 2400m and above., Thermoregulation - The process used to maintain core temperature regardless of external temperature and activity levels (37 degrees)., Conduction - Transfer of heat through direct contact — from a warmer object to a cooler one., Responses to High Altitude - Hypoxia, Increased BR, Increased HR, Reduced VO2 Max, Altitude Sickness, Evaporation  - Water vaporization lost through breathing or sweating transfers heat from the body to the surrounding environment., Early Onset Sweating Benefit - They can cool quicker and benefit from the cooling effects., Hyperthermia - This occurs when the body cannot lose excess heat., Shivering Thermogenesis - The conversion of chemical energy of ATP into kinetic energy causes some this kinetic energy to be transferred to heat., Radiation - The transfer of heat from one object to another without contact., Tachycardia  - Resting heart rate above normal (more than 100 BPM)., Non-Shivering Thermogenesis - Energy from free fatty acids to be dispersed within the body as heat.​, Hypothermia - Hypothermia develops if the rate of heat loss exceeds the rate at which the body produces heat., Acclimatisation Purpose - Athletes train and compete at altitude as it enables the body to become more efficient at absorbing oxygen. This is known as acclimatization., Frostbite - This is damage to skin and tissue caused by prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures.​, Shivering - Skeletal muscles will shake in small movements, creating warmth by expending kinetic energy.​,
