Document Summary

Experimental design to test the hypothesis that training at altitude will increase exercise endurance: A control group consisting of 100 similarly built individuals will cycle at sea level altitude and be compared to the experimental group consisting of 100 similarly built individuals who will cycle at a high altitude level. The vo2max and red blood cell volume will be measured and compared amongst the two groups. The independent variables are the type of individuals, duration of cycling (training), and the altitude height. A high red blood cell volume indicates high levels of o2 and a high vo2max indicates higher maximum oxygen uptake. Thus more oxygen is available for the muscle cell to use. In aerobic endurance exercise, oxygen is needed to generate atp. Thus, the higher the amount of oxygen present, the longer the muscles can keep generating atp and sustain exercise, leading to an increase in exercise endurance.
