I live in an area that is at 2500ft elevation, and went up to Dillon,Co elevation 9200ft. When I was there I installed about 500 square feet of wood floor at a very fast pace without breaking a sweat.
Of course, when I fly up around 14,000 feet (non-pressurized), I feel very little effects from the low oxygen levels, also.
But, I have talked to people that get light-headed quickly when they go to the mountains, though.
I think it has a lot to do with your conditioning and stamina. In the NFL, both sides are in excellent condition, but a half-step advantage in the third quarter can be the difference between a Touchdown and a loss.
