Detailed listing of physical characteristics of participants.

	CHO (n = 8)	PLA (n = 6)
Characteristic
Age (years)	22.2 ± 2.0	26.6 ± 8.5
Height (cm)	178 ± 9	176 ± 6
Weight (kg)	82.3 ± 12.8	82.9 ± 16.6
BMI (kg/m2)	25.9 ± 3.0	26.7 ± 4.1
Body fat (%)	22.4 ± 5.4	25.0 ± 7.0
$\dot{V}$O2peak (L/min) at SL	4.34 ± 0.74	4.06 ± 0.70
$\dot{V}$O2peak (L/min) at HA	2.81 ± 0.38	2.75 ± 0.62

Values are mean ± SD; peak O₂ uptake ($\dot{V}$O_2peak) at sea level (SL) and 4,300 m (HA). CHO participants ingested 1.8 g carbohydrate/min (65.25 g fructose + 79.75 g glucose) and PLA participants ingested placebo during steady-state exercise trials.
