Maximal aerobic power in high-altitude runners
Maximal aerobic power (VO2max) was assessed in seven male and one female middle- and long-distance recreational runners residing in La Paz, Bolivia (3600 m). All runners were born and raised at high altitudes (> 2500). Mean VO2max in the male runners was 60.8 ml/kg/min while VO2max in the female runner was 55.5 ml/kg/min. These values are higher than in any previously reported sample of either trained or untrained high-altitude natives. In additi…
Effect of altitude on the lung function of high altitude residents of European ancestry
The forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV), and ratio of FEV to FVC (%FEV) of 161 male and 158 female youths of European ancestry who were born at high altitudes and who were residing in La Paz, Bolivia (average altitude of 3,600 m) were examined and compared with those for lowland Europeans and highland Aymara Amerindians. FVC and FEV were significantly larger (p
Lung function of young Aymara highlanders
The patterns of development of FVC, FEV and %FEV are examined in 217 male and 195 female youths of Aymara ancestry residing in La Paz, Bolivia (altitude 3600 m). The data provide some evidence of an acceleration in the development of lung function relative to stature in Aymara children, beginning during early adolescence, and also indicate that there is a strong relationship between lung function and chest dimensions in Aymara children. Similar p…
Maximal exercise capacity in adolescent European and Amerindian high‐altitude natives
Forty‐seven highland natives were given maximal exercise tests on a treadmill ergometer at 3,600 m. The subjects were grouped into four subsamples on the basis of ethnicity (European vs. Aymara) and age (young vs. old adolescent). Two‐way ANOVA indicated that VO 2 max adjusted for body size did not differ significantly between ethnic groups but was significantly larger in older than younger boys within each ethnic group (p 2 max's of highlanders …
The physical growth of urban children at high altitude
The physical growth of urban Aymara children residing in La Paz, Bolivia (3,600 m) is described and compared with Amerindian children residing at low and high altitudes and with low‐altitude U.S. children. The sample consists of 227 males (10.6–19.7 yr) and 219 females (11.2–19.8 yr). The urban La Paz children were taller at all ages than rural high altitude Amerindian children but similar in stature to urban high altitude children from Peru. The…
