ALTITUDE TRAINING INVESTIGATION The aim of this coursework was to investigate the effects of altitude training on fitness. The experiment will take place in the mountains, at 2000 meters above sea level. There will be a total of 100 athletes with roughly the same VO2 max. VO2 max is the amount of oxygen a person can consume during exercise. Half of the athletes will be training at sea level and the other half will be training at a higher altitude. The duration of their training for both sets of athletes will be 4 weeks, which is considered to be best duration for optimum performance once you return to sea level for competition. After four weeks, we would compare the VO2 max of both sets of athletes to see if there's any significant difference in the results. My variables will be the athletes training at high altitude, and my controlled athletes will...
