Frequently Asked Questions

Answers for athletes planning elevation training

How does altitude affect oxygen need?

Reduced barometric pressure lowers inspired O₂, increasing the relative oxygen requirement to sustain the same workload.

How quickly should I ascend?

Increase sleeping altitude gradually and schedule easy days to allow ventilatory and hematological adaptation.

Should I train by pace at altitude?

Use heart rate and RPE rather than sea‑level paces, which are often unattainable initially.

Does hydration matter more?

Yes, dry air and increased ventilation increase fluid loss; monitor body mass and urine color.

Will VO₂ Max change after acclimatization?

It may remain lower at altitude but economy and tolerance improve, reducing perceived effort.

What about iron status?

Adequate iron is critical for erythropoiesis; consider screening before extended altitude blocks.

Is this medical advice?

No—this calculator is educational and not a substitute for personalized medical guidance.

How accurate is the factor?

It is a simplified heuristic based on altitude bands; individual responses vary widely.
