Abstract
High altitude can negatively aff ect attentional functions, and whether exercise, as an eff ective means to improve attentional functions in the plain, can also be applied to high altitude has attracted attention from researchers. A large number of studies have shown that exercise at high altitude aff ects attentional functions, and the degree of infl uence is related to altitude level, task type, exercise intensity and individual diff erences. Neurotrophic factor theory and brain oxygenation theory have been used to explain the eff ect of exercise on attentional functions.
