C seems off. Heart rate usually increases, not decreases.

Carrol 7 days ago

I lean towards D. Higher altitude definitely affects oxygen levels.

Reta 12 days ago

I agree, but B makes sense too. Two weeks for performance recovery is realistic.

Izetta 17 days ago

I think A is correct. A week sounds reasonable for acclimation.

Leah 23 days ago

I still think A is a solid choice for initial acclimation.

Carlee 28 days ago

Yeah, D covers the science behind it well.

D is definitely true, oxygen levels drop up there.

Willard 2 months ago

Wait, are you sure about C? That sounds off.

Jade 3 months ago

Totally agree, acclimation is key!

Arthur 3 months ago

A) it may take about a week to fully acclimate to the altitude.

Ming 3 months ago

I recall reading that performance can drop for up to two weeks, so B could be the right answer based on that.

Herminia 3 months ago

I’m a bit confused about the heart rate changes; I thought it would actually be higher at altitude, not lower.

Annabelle 3 months ago

I feel like I saw a question about how aerobic capacity is affected at high altitudes, so I think D might be correct.

Allene 4 months ago

I think I remember that it can take about a week to acclimate, but I'm not sure if that's the same for everyone.
