Answer:
atheletes find running 100m in plaim ground easier than in high mountains because in the ground level remains the same im plains whereas in high mountains the ground level keep on rising as we go upward which requires more energy.

Athletes find it simpler to sprint 100 metres on flat ground than in high mountains because the ground level in the former is constant, but the latter rises as we climb, requiring more effort.
- They do this because the air is "thinner"—that is, contains fewer oxygen molecules—at high elevations.
- The athlete's body requires extra oxygen as he runs in the race. So that the body may receive more oxygen, his breathing rate quickens.
- This implies that in order to perform the same amount of labour that you would at sea level or a lower altitude, you must have greater levels of stamina and endurance.
- To overcome this, altitude training is given to athletes.
- Some endurance athletes engage in the practise of altitude training, which involves spending several weeks training at a high altitude.
- The ideal altitude is over 2,400 metres (8,000 feet) above sea level, though it is more common to train at intermediate altitudes due to the dearth of high-altitude locations that are suitable for this purpose.
- At intermediate elevations, the partial pressure of oxygen is lower due to the lower barometric pressure, but the air still contains about 20.9% oxygen.
