    Abstract:
    Lowland and highland natives of similar age and physical fitness showed similar parameters of hemodynamics, pulmonary ventilation and gas exchange at rest. However, highlanders displayed lower lung vital capacity. Maximal work capacity of highlandders was higher. It was provided by lower tension of the cardiovascular system and higher tension of the respiratory system as compared with those of lowlanders.
