Assignment: High Altitude Athletic Training Advertisement

You have been hired to develop a promotional brochure for a fitness destination camp located at a high altitude. This camp wishes to attract athletes from around the world to train and live at the facility before their big event. In the promotional brochure you should focus on attracting competitors by highlighting specific circulatory and respiratory changes that can be induced by high altitude training. Be sure to note how far in advance of the big event competitors should plan to move into the facility and how early they can plan to leave without losing their physiological boosts.

And because this is a reputable facility, be sure to provide references for all those intense athletes to check.
