Our ancestral physiological phenotype: an adaptation for hypoxia tolerance and for endurance performance?

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 17 Feb 1998

Hochachka P W, Gunga H C, Kirsch K

Abstract excerpt

There are well known mechanistic similarities in human physiology between adaptations for endurance performance and hypoxia tolerance. By using background principles arising from recent studies of the evolution of the diving response in marine mammals, here we analyze human responses to hypobaric...
