Health improvement effects in one week mountain hikes

During the mountain trips adaptation is developed not only to hypoxia, but also to hypocapnia. Both of these effects have the important meaning as raising the acceptability neither hypoxic nor hypocapnic states, that belong to the phenomenon of health character. In thisregard we have researched the cumulative effect of one week mountain hikes on altitude from 2000 to 4000 m. for steadiness of tourists to the development of hypocapnic state. There were determined that after the descending from mountains the intensity of reaction blood index is lowering to the hyperventilating loads that can be considered as one of the important and specific health improvement effects during the mountain tourism.
