Grand Chronic Hypoxia Tour throughout India July 2016 in the city of Bijapur
In this series of consecutive blogs, you can read about this outstanding scientific tour. Each blog is dedicated to one city and one scientific concept presented in the conference “Extraordinary Adaptation to Chronic Hypoxia and Life at High Altitude”.
On the way from Bellary to Bijapur, we visited a temple in honor of, that is located below the water level at the Krishna River.
The entrance to the Temple of Shri Basavechwar Aikyamantap.The tomb of Shri Basavechwar Aikyamantap, below the water level !! An extraordinary Hindu thinker.

ONE CONCEPT INCLUDED IN THE CONFERENCE “Extraordinary Adaptation to Chronic Hypoxia and Life at High altitude”:
The formula of Adaptation to high altitude. The fundamental variables are time and altitude. The time factor of adaptation to high altitude is trascendental for adaptation, and the hemoglobin increase is considered the optimal adaptation factor. The curves showing the increase and time taken to reach to the optimal hematocrit on an ascent to city like La Paz, between 4100 and 3100m, were shown and analyzed. The hemoglobin increase is the most energy efficient mechanism of adaptation, reducing the extra energetic cost of the cardio-pulmonary system and allowing for the optimal exercise performance at high altitude.
