Study design. After a familiarization session at Santiago de Chile (520 m), participants underwent baseline assessments the day preceding travelling to high altitude. Participants travelled to the ALMA Operations Support Facility (ASF—2900 m) and stayed for one night before beginning daily sojourns to the Array Operations Site (AOS—5050 m). Participants alternated between 2900 m (sleeping) and 5050 m (up to 8 h/day). After a one-week recovery period at 520 m, participants performed a second, identical altitude cycle. Arrows indicate experimental testing days and headings indicate the condition of interest.
