[...] 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 2, French, - entra%C3%AEnement%20en%20altitude

Slow flight is... the name given to a training maneuver where a pilot(often accompanied by a flight instructor) flies to a safe altitude and then deliberately slows the airplane to a speed just above its stall speed. This maneuver is valuable in that it teaches the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft in adverse conditions; it requires coordination between hands and feet in order to maintain coordinated flight; and it reminds the pilot of the signs and symptoms of a stall, attuning the pilot to recognize them should they occur in an emergency. 3, record 5, English, - slow%20flying
