Four groups of subjects were acclimatized to high altitude for 2 1/2 to 3 weeks. Thereafter each group was re-exposed to this altitude periodically. Tests were performed to determine how well the initial acclimatization was maintained by the various kinds of re-exposure. The group which best retained acclimatization was re-exposed 12 hours out of each 48 hours to the higher of the two altitudes used (4,350 meters) and was physically conditioned. This group retained acclimatization better than a comparable group which was re-exposed twice as long (24 hours out of each 48 hours) to a lower altitude (3,250 meters). (Author)
