Explanation:
high altitude, an individual's ability to exercise decreases. This is because the ventilatory response usually sufficient at sea-level to maintain good blood oxygen saturation is no longer possible due to the decreased oxygen levels at high altitude.

Explanation:
As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. Thus reducing the level of oxygen. People living at higher altitudes are used to the lower density of oxygen molecules in the air. They have higher levels of haemoglobin (red blood cells) in their blood which helps them to take in more oxygen.
