Abstract

Some of the most important international competitions take place at altitude, especially those held in South America and Central Asia. The issue of acclimatization to altitude and time zone is extremely important for a good performance in sport. Climatologists distinguished climate of growth between 600 and 1000 m. and exciting climate, which is installed after 1200 to 1400 m. altitude. Bear in mind that marine climate and located between 0-100 m. altitude is also an exciting environment for physical effort. Geographers divided altitude as follows: between 1000-1200 m. the low altitude, between 1200-1800 m lower altitude, between 1800-2800 m. average altitude and over 2,800 m. high altitude. Changes in the circadian rhythms can be unbeneficial for energy efficiency, physiological and psychological processes, which can translate into an athletic performance decreasing.
