Performance and altitude: is there anything that nutrition can do for it?

High-altitude regions are associated with sports, especially football, and climbing. However, tourists, workers such as miners and plane pilots, and residents of these regions also suffer from the same rigors [1]. In South America, for example, each year approximately 4,000 people visit the Aconcagua Provincial Park, in the Argentine Andes, where the maximum altitude can reach 6,960m. Curiously, only 60% of these people visit the park because of the climbing options it offers. The other 40% are attracted to the park by the natural beauty, in spite of the risks inherent to the pass in these regions.
