High-altitude illnesses (HAIs) result from acute exposure to high altitude/hypoxia. Numerous
molecular mechanisms affect appropriate acclimatization to hypobaric and/or normobaric …

Objective: In this review, we detail the impact of environmental stress on cognitive and
military task performance and highlight any individual characteristics or interventions which …

Changes in body composition and weight loss frequently occur when humans are exposed
to hypoxic environments. The mechanisms thought to be responsible for these changes are …

Purpose Main purposes of pre-acclimatization by hypoxia conditioning (HC) are the
prevention of high-altitude illnesses and maintenance of aerobic exercise performance …

This pre-eminent work has developed over six editions in response to man's attempts to
climb higher and higher unaided, and to spend more time at altitude for both work and …

The impact of acute mountain sickness (AMS) and sleep disturbances on mood and
cognition at two altitudes relevant to the working and tourist population is unknown. Twenty …

The present study aimed to investigate the effects of a short period of normobaric hypoxic
exposure on spatial learning and memory, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) …

Background: Chronic exposure to severe hypoxia causes an increase in hematocrit (Hct)
and hemoglobin concentration ([Hb]), which can lead to excessive erythrocytosis (EE) and …

Objective: To determine whether 2 days of staging at 2500–3500 m, combined with either
high or low physical activity, reduces acute mountain sickness (AMS) during subsequent …

The impact of 2 days of staging at 2500–4300 m on sleep quality and quantity following
subsequent exposure to 4300 m was determined. Forty‐eight unacclimatized men and …
