Which of the following adaptations will be apt to increase the work capacity at high altitude:
The limiting factor at high altitude is the 'rate of oxygen uptake. By increasing the workload (resistance), will increase the required rate of oxygen uptake which is not available at a high altitude. Hence a Decrease in workload, and an increase in the duration of exercise is best suited for increased work capacity.
