[...] l'entraînement en altitude permettrait potentiellement d'obtenir un meilleur rapport entre consommation d'oxygène et effort fourni, ainsi que d'augmenter les capacités d'endurance des sportifs. De plus, le métabolisme étant plus sollicité en altitude, la perte de masse grasse s'en trouve favorisée. Au contraire, la force et la masse musculaire se voient augmentées. Plus l'altitude est élevée, plus l'hypoxie est importante et plus la réaction physiologique est forte. 1, record 1, French, - entra%C3%AEnement%20en%20altitude
