Effects on Cognitive Functioning of Acute, Subacute and Repeated Exposures to High Altitude

Effects on Cognitive Functioning of Acute, Subacute and Repeated Exposures to High Altitude

Objective: Neurocognitive functions are affected by high altitude, however the altitude effects of acclimatization and repeated exposures are unclear. We investigated the effects of acute, subacute and repeated exposure to 5,050 m on cognition among altitude-naïve participants compared to control su...
