Does living at a high altitude make you fitter?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Living at high altitude can potentially improve your endurance during intense exercise. It may increase your aerobic capacity, lactic acid tolerance, and oxygen flow to your muscles. To prevent altitude sickness, climb slowly and reduce your intensity at high altitudes.
