Subject:

Altitude Mountain Sickness (AMS) Physiology

Summary:

Physiological responses to exercise in normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) are studied between a simulated hike on a treadmill and a field hike on the mountain of Mauna Kea. Mean peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and heart rate (HR) are different significantly in NH and HH.
