Once you have mastered the belly breath, you can add resistance to your exhalation by pursing your lips and exhaling forcefully, and this is what mountaineers call the Pressure Breath. This is one of the most important breaths for climbing at high altitudes that helps combat the decrease in atmospheric pressure
High altitude environments can be debilitating to unacclimatized individuals exposed to elevations above 3,000 m (9,843 ft) for periods ranging from several hours to days. Moderate hypoxia induces substantial alterations in physiological and psychological parameters within a few hours
At higher altitudes such as on top of a mountain, the air is less dense and this means that the partial pressure of oxygen is lower.
The advantage of altitude training is that the muscles get a natural boost when more oxygen is available during lower-altitude competitions.
They have larger lung capacity than people living in the plains.
