Aerobic power In exercise physiology, aerobic power P is defined in terms of maximum oxygen intake. For altitudes up to 1800 meters, aerobic power is optimal-that is, 100%. Beyond 1800 meters, P decreases linearly from the maximum of 100% to a value near 40% at 5000 meters.

(a) Express aerobic power P in terms of altitude h (in meters) for 1800 h 5000.

(b) Estimate aerobic power in Mexico City (altitude: 2400 meters), the site of the 1968 Summer Olympic Games.
