Abstract
The present study examine the effect of high altitude exposure on heart rate. In this study, highaltitude exposure includes, height gain at the particular altitude and duration in days that has been spentat the high altitude. For this study, 43 healthy male individual participated in mountaineering trainingprogram were selected as the subject for this study and age ranged from 17-45 yrs. Single group repeatedmeasure design was used. Analysis of Variance (RM ANOVA) was used analyzed collected data. From theresult of the study, it can be concluded that exposure to high altitude significantly affects Heart Rate
