[...] 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.

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
