    Yep. The US Olympic Committee selected Colorado Springs to build their training center due to their high elevation which is 6,200 ft. Most of the athletes train there and when they perform in an Olympic host city which is usually sea level, they’ll perform 20X better because their bodies got more red blood cells. Consider this the only doping the IOC will allow.

    Also explains the University of Wyoming having poor recruiting classes and superior outcomes for the abysmal recruitment ranks. Laramie is at 6800 feet while most recruits are from much lower altitudes. Wyoming players tend to end up with superior conditioning at lower altitudes resulting in 6 to 8 win teams often coming from 90th to 115th best recruiting classes.

    I live in Quito which is the 2nd highest city in South America and the only reason our national team plays their soccer games here is because of the altitude. Because there are much nicer stadiums on the coast of Ecuador with capacities of 65.000 seats, but our already bad national team would lose every game if we didn’t use this altitude as an advantage.

    Great video job well done. 1 thing to take note regarding the MLB @ Coors Field is the disadvantage elevation has on pitching as well. Breaking balls will break & curve less. Changeups & fastballs with lateral movement move less for the same reasons. This makes it easier to make contact regardless of home field advantage. The difference between Rockies pitchers and everyone else is that they're accustomed to that disadvantage at home which in turn becomes an advantage...especially up against NL East pitchers that probably only pitch there once a year. I've also heard from Rockies players that it takes a day to adjust playing at lower elevations b/c sliders/curveballs move much more and they go straight to the curveball machine to prepare.

    Great vid. Really packed info in there. In my anecdotal experience, hypoxia matters. 20% less oxygen at that altitude...it’s why all the boxers and fighters train at altitude. I’m from New York, spend my time close to sea level. I’m not in pro athlete shape, but i exercise enough to take a hike without wheezing by the end. However, when I was out there, I got a bike from the hotel and rode around Boulder a lot, and took hikes up to the Flatirons (it’s roughly the same Alt. as Denver.) and it’s just a tired feeling in your muscles, unlike just regular strain from exercise. When I rode up hills I felt okay at first but any prolonged muscle strain, would burn to the core. So that Hypoxia, definitely kicks your butt. That said, I went to see the Nuggets play. With a crazy crowd, the Pelicans at Denver was a 30pt blowout for the Pelicans. Lol, so the hypoxia wasnt good enough that night. Can’t get much lower than New Orleans in altitude. AD did NOT seem tired at all and he totally ran that game & was a 1 man team, doing it all on both ends of the floor from start to finish despite a good performance by the Nuggets. But in short, anyone not used to altitude will feel it. I talked to someone who moved out there from back East. He told me it took a couple months to get used to it.

    Broncos have most success among Denver sports teams, despite home court advantage meaning less in NFL than NBA and also NFL playoffs don't have multiple game series(unlike any other sports), so they sometimes have to play the only gave of a playoff round in away arena. Reason, Broncos managed to build better teams than other Denver teams. They've had John Elway and Peyton Manning as their QB's.

    The NFL has a very high variance, and together with the hard cap, is a league of parity whereas the other 3 sports aren't. The Broncos did get very lucky acquiring Elway too. Elway threw a tantrum refusing to play for the Colts, and the Broncos only got Elway because they had somebody the Colts wanted. However, do keep in mind the Broncos has given up the most points in Super Bowl history. Not exactly an honor you'd want.

    This makes a lot of sense to me. I work in extremely hot environments when repairing industrial aluminum melting furnaces that retain high heat for days after shutting down . Even when you are able to “suit up” with protective clothing that blocks much of the radiant heat you still have to deal with breathing the hot, thin air. You can not only train your body to work in the environment but you also learn to adjust your physical limits and learn to pace yourself and pay more attention to feeling when your muscles are lacking oxygen and know that if you don’t slow down that it will quickly lead to poor balance and bad decisions. I have seen many people in excellent physical condition (much better than me) that were not able to handle this type of work because they don’t understand and have never experienced trying to perform when oxygen was a limiting factor.

    I actually moved from florida to Colorado. the altitude wasn't really noticeable at first it wasn't until I jogged up a couple flight of steps that I realized how much harder it was to breathe. my 3 mile runs turned to 2 mile runs, I couldnt play both sides in my flag football league like I used too and I actually had to slow down my weight training and take longer breaks between sets so I could get enough oxygen to complete 8-10 reps. really is a struggle physically for someone to come from a low altitude environment into a place like Denver.

    Great informative video! One note on baseball, the balls travel farther at altitude and that matters a lot, but batters have another advantage in that for pitchers, it's harder to throw breaking balls (or even non-breaking balls with significant movement) in the thinner air. Pitches don't bite as much in the thin air, and batters can take advantage of easier to hit balls, as well as hitting them farther.
