Effect of Altitude on Atmospheric Pressure and Oxygen Partial Pressure

This video shows Dr. Evan Matthews discussing how high altitude makes it more difficult to oxygenate blood due to lower atmospheric pressure and oxygen partial pressure. This video is part of a series of videos that will cover altitude as it relates to exercise physiology, health, and fitness. The playlist to that series is listed below.
