Abstract in another language
OBJECTIVES: The optimal strategy for soccer teams playing at altitude is not known, that is, 'fly-in, fly-out' versus short-term acclimatisation. Here, we document changes in blood gas and vascular volumes of sea-level (Australian, n=20) and altitude (Bolivian, n=19) native soccer players at 3600 m. METHODS: Haemoglobin-oxygen saturation (Hb-sO(2)), arterial oxygen content (CaO(2)), haemoglobin mass (Hbmass), blood volume (BV) and blood gas concentrations were measured before descent (Bolivians only), together with aerobic fitness (via Yo-YoIR1), near sea-level, after ascent and during 13 days at 3600 m. RESULTS: At baseline, haemoglobin concentration [Hb] and Hbmass were higher in Bolivians (mean +/- SD; 18.2 +/- 1.0 g/dL, 12.8 +/- 0.8 g/kg) than Australians (15.0 +/- 0.9 g/dL, 11.6 +/- 0.7 g/kg; both p </= 0.001). Near sea-level, [Hb] of Bolivians decreased to 16.6 +/- 0.9 g/dL, but normalised upon return to 3600 m; Hbmass was constant regardless of altitude. In Australians, [Hb] increased after 12 days at 3600 m to 17.3 +/- 1.0 g/dL; Hbmass increased by 3.0 +/- 2.7% (p </= 0.01). BV decreased in both teams at altitude by approximately 400 mL. Arterial partial pressure for oxygen (PaO(2)), Hb-sO(2) and CaO(2) of both teams decreased within 2 h of arrival at 3600 m (p </= 0.001) but increased over the following days, with CaO(2) overcompensated in Australians (+1.7 +/- 1.2 mL/100 mL; p </= 0.001). Yo-YoIR1 was lower on the 3rd versus 10th day at altitude and was significantly related to CaO(2). CONCLUSIONS: The marked drop in PaO(2) and CaO(2) observed after ascent does not support the 'fly-in, fly-out' approach for soccer teams to play immediately after arrival at altitude. Although short-term acclimatisation was sufficient for Australians to stabilise their CaO(2) (mostly due to loss of plasma volume), 12 days appears insufficient to reach chronic levels of adaption
