Which of the following adaptations will be apt to increase the work capacity at high altitude_________________?
Correct answer: B. Decreasing workload, increasing duration of exercise
- A. Increased workload, decreasing duration of exercise
- B. Decreasing workload, increasing duration of exercise
- C. Increased workload, increasing duration of exercise
- D. Decreasing workload, decreasing duration of exercise
Explanation
At high altitude, reduced oxygen availability limits aerobic power, so work capacity is best maintained by lowering the workload and extending the exercise duration. This reduces oxygen demand per unit time and delays fatigue.
