Introduction: Research comparing the effects of environmental hypoxia with that of normoxia provides scientists with important information about the human physiological response with respect to the conditions of rest and exercise. Hypoxia can occur under normobaric or hypobaric conditions; however, normobaric hypoxia will be the focus of this investigation. Naughton et al., state that during hypobaric hypoxia, partial pressure of O2 (PO2) drops and O2 concentrations remain the same; whereas,…

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said.
