High Elevation Adaptation
Adaptations to living at high elevation including metabolic rates, respiration rates and hemoglobin concentrations are shared by many indigenous communities. These traits are heritable, and passed on to the next generation. Athletes train at high elevations to reap the benefits of these adaptations, even short term. But, it makes some people sick – ever hear of altitude sickness? What’s up with that? Research high elevation adaptations. Talk about why some athletes train in the clouds but some people can’t get out of bed when they visit a ski resort. Your focus should be on using evidence about the structure and function of the parts of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems that are affected.
You must use evidence from at least one outside reputable source in addition to your textbook.
