(14,779 posts)It is an open debate on how to handle the changes due to the attitude. One theory is to go in a few days before, and adjust. The other is just fly in, play and leave. The difference is based on the fact it takes DAYS not hours to adjust, and sometime the worse thing to do is to leave the body adjust. The Adjustment just takes to long. The Steelers had this attitude in the 1970s and 1980s, I do not know today for I have NOT read what is their attitude, but that was reported when Chuck Noll was the Steeler Coach in the 1970s and 1980s (Prior to 1969, he had been a San Diego Charger's Assistant Coach and had to go to Denver quite often and from that experience developed his policy as to trips to Denver).
Just a Comment, that being in the "adjustment" phase may be worse then just hitting the reduced level of Oxygen and accepting it. This is the same attitude to cold weather, it is often better to face if day one, then wait for the body to adjust, for it may take weeks and months to adjust.
