The article compares the infl uence of inhaling concentrated oxygen on short-term repeated performance in lowlands and at high altitudes above sea level (1 835 m a.s.l.). Th e source of concentrated oxygen was Oxyfi t. Th e subjects (n=10) completed a total of four tests comprised of two Wingate tests at a 10 minute interval. Two tests were carried out at a low altitude and two at a higher altitude above sea level. During the recovery period between tests the monitored subjects inhaled Oxyfi t or a placebo (at both the low and high altitudes). Th e study showed signifi cantly (p < 0.05) higher performance of the repeated Wingate test aft er inhaling concentrated oxygen in comparison with the placebo at both low and higher altitudes. Inhalation of concentrated oxygen aff ects performance to a greater extent at the higher altitude compared to that of the low altitude.
