Impact of living and training at low altitude for several years on endurance performance at higher altitude: Myth or reality

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The physiological adaptations of long‐term high‐altitude residents without high‐altitude genetic ancestry remain poorly characterized. This study investigated whether permanent residence at low altitude (1200 m) influences performance at higher altitude (2500 m). We compared exercise responses at 2500 m in endurance‐trained athletes living for

Powder to the People: Exploring the User Experience and Ski Area Design Elements of the Hankin-Evelyn Backcountry Ski Area

open access: yes, 2012
North America’s first officially designated backcountry ski area, the Hankin-Evelyn Backcountry Ski Area (Hankin) in northern British Columbia, offers mountain communities seeking alternative recreational amenities an interesting model to emulate. The aim of the research is to explore backcountry ski area design by assessing the quality of both the ski

Assessment of avalanche hazard of freeride skiing areas

open access: yes
Abstract. Freeride skiing and ski touring have been growing in popularity in Slovakia as an alternative to crowded ski slopes, offering skiers the thrill of untracked snow and challenging terrain. However, venturing into unmanaged mountain areas exposes participants to significantly greater dangers, especially avalanches and risk of falling. This study

Effect of chronic high‐altitude hypoxia on retinal vascular phenotype, choroidal and retinal vasoreactivity in Peruvian highlanders

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐altitude chronic hypoxia can induce excessive erythrocytosis (EE, defined as a haemoglobin concentration of ≥21 g/dL in men), leading to hyperviscosity and promoting endothelial dysfunction. We aimed to assess whether EE affects the retinal vascular phenotype and the ophthalmological vascular response to CO2.

Intramuscular pathways of maladaptation in overtraining syndrome

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The transition from adaptive overreaching to maladaptive overtraining and mechanisms through which excessive training load can lead to performance decline. Four interconnected pathophysiological domains are highlighted: neural fatigue, involving both central and peripheral components such as altered sensory feedback and reflex ...

Mechanisms of haemoglobin mass expansion following heat stress

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Theorised mechanisms of heat stress‐induced erythropoiesis which may facilitate the expansion of haemoglobin mass. A, acute: heat stress‐induced renal ischaemia. Redistribution of blood flow away from the kidneys to facilitate thermoregulation during heat stress could reduce renal oxygen delivery, subsequently lowering renal PO2${
