VO2max and arterial O2 saturation at sea level and 610 m
The hypothesis that the VO2max of elite athletes, but not non-elite athletes, is decreased at sea-level compared with 610 m as a result of lower arterial oxygen saturation was tested. Neither value was significantly different between the two altitudes for the non-elite group, but were for the elites.
Implication: Trained elite athletes are more sensitive to minor changes in altitude and lower altitudes than non-elite athletes.
