Decreased oxygen at altitude reduces the maximal aerobic capacity of an athlete by 1% to 2% for every 100 meter (328 feet) rise above 1,500 meters (4,918 feet). Therefore, an elite endurance athlete may only be able to perform at 65% to 85% of maximal aerobic capacity at 10,000 feet when compared to sea level. Athletes that compete in anaerobic events, such as sprinters or weight lifters who perform brief (2-3 minutes) episodes of maximal effort events, may notice no initial difference in performance because sustained maximal oxygenation of muscle tissue is not necessary.
