Abstract

Purpose: To outline how hypoxia profoundly affects neuronal functionality and thus compromise exercise-performance. Methods: Investigations using electroencephalography (EEG) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) detecting neuronal changes at rest and those studying fatiguing effects on whole-body exercise performance in acute (AH) and chronic hypoxia (CH) were evaluated. Results: At rest during very early hypoxia (
