Tissue oxygen saturation at specific stages of the work protocol. Mean tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) at specific stages of the work protocol at sea level and different altitude time points. 5300(a), on arrival at 5,300 m (days 15 to 17); 5300(b), before departure from 5,300 m (days 69 to 71); Rest, resting; ULC, after 3 minutes of unloaded cycling; VO2 max, at maximal oxygen consumption; Rec, 60 seconds after exercise has ceased.
