Hello, Awesome ride! Here are some things to consider per your question regarding muscle fatigue and fatigue in general at higher altitudes: 1. At higher altitudes, there is lower atmospheric air pressure, meaning oxygen molecules are more spread out within the atmosphere (less O2 density). 2. Oxygen is vital for Cellular Respiration. Cellular Respiration is a series of chemical reactions (Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy) that convert Glucose and Oxygen into your body’s primary energy molecule called ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). ATP is the most crucial fuel for muscle contractions. It also supplies every tissue with enough energy to function correctly physiologically within the body. 3. Red Blood Cells (Erythrocytes) primary function is to deliver oxygen to all body tissues so they can convert it into energy. Low oxygen density due to high altitudes leads to low blood oxygen saturation and possible Hypoxia. You might notice that your body instinctively starts to hyperventilate under exertive stress at higher altitudes, increasing the respiratory rate and trying to increase the oxygen levels in the body. 4. Not enough oxygen absorption means your muscles aren’t utilizing enough energy (ATP) to function optimally, Hence the overall fatigue you feel. 5. The good news is that the human body is highly adaptable. At high altitudes, the body will respond by releasing Erythropoietin (EPO), a glycoprotein hormone created in the Kidneys. EPO will then facilitate the production of more Red Blood Cells in the bone marrow, which will carry more oxygen to your muscles and the rest of the tissues in the body. Your Red Blood Cell count will be much higher at higher altitudes than at sea level. Making more Red Blood cells in this way is called Polycythemia.

Yeah, muscles need the oxygen too. Part of the whole thing with EPO. Blood carries more oxygen where it's needed. You're going to be a tud when you get baqck to sea level
Haha! Everytime I pass a moto, I wish I had one myself. Around where I'm staying are mostly donkeys, cows, sheep, alpaca, llama, horses, and a bunch of bird species. But mostly livestock since I'm in a large agricultural region. Oh and can't forget all the stray dogs!
Ha! You sent me down the rabbit hole, trying to answer your question about muscle fatigue. I found lots of research but mostly on mice, trained athletes(😮) and a mountain (😊) of research conducted on Everest. Seems like at altitude humans may become glucose consumers or glucose savers but either way, your ability to sustain muscle function will be down-regulated. Blah, blah, blah.

❤ wow amazing video amazing trip
Epic video and even crazier landscape! Wow!!!😮💨
Loving all these videos
Hells yeah thanks for taking us along
You bet
The views are
Breathtaking
👍😎
What a beautiful ride!!
What frame and tire size do you have? WOW those are some big meats on there!
54cm frame and 26 x 2.8 tires
What bike you riding? An Evasion? Awesome views btw
Yep an Evasion.
beautiful! is that a friction shifter?
The best.
How is that front bag attached tonyour bike. Looks supper solid. Link to it please

Staying in an earthship? Nice!
Yup, such a cool place to stay!
Nice ❤
Omg no invite
Italians hate it here.

Been back at sea level a lil too long again. Ive reverted back to a weakling LOL
Wow but 11,000 ft ..whew i would have took a motor bike ..what tyoe of animals are out there
Haha! Everytime I pass a moto, I wish I had one myself. Around where I'm staying are mostly donkeys, cows, sheep, alpaca, llama, horses, and a bunch of bird species. But mostly livestock since I'm in a large agricultural region. Oh and can't forget all the stray dogs!
@@crustbikes the dogs would scare me the most..and that's nice there isn't predators

Very interesting. Also this had me LOL " sciencey dude will be triggered to respond in full any second!"
Damn beaut content matt 🫶🏽 Thx4shring
Thanks for tuning in papi
