%X Oxidative stress is more than 30 years and is the focus of exercise-based studies. In recent years, intensive studies have been carried out in different climate scenarios including exercise, oxidative stress and altitude. The adaptation of exercise to height starts around 1000-1500 m. However, a survey in the literature reveals that 'high altitude' responses are generally greater than 3000 m [1,2]. It has been for decades that people have been training at high altitudes to improve their performance at sea level.However, the athletic performance data (oxygen saturation, maximum oxygen consumption, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, etc.) obtained from the research results of about 30 years are quite different from each other. High altitude conditions cause changes in organism functions [3,4]. It is known that heavy and exhausting physical activities such as mountain and nature sports have systematic and locally significant acute effects on human beings. It has been suggested that the vital functions, first degree, induce oxidative stress and damage different tissues and cells. Body-regulating mechanisms in hypobaric hypoxic environments behave differently in each altitude environment for survival [5]. Vital functions, especially all the systems that make up life and how their functions are changed are mentioned as important issues to be explained. It is known that exposure to low oxygen pressure causes both metabolic and physiological changes [6]. It is reported that exposure to high altitude (due to changes in ROT formation and antioxidant activity) may lead to oxidative damage, although oxygen is not expected to be low in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROT) because oxygen demand will be limited due to hypoxia at high altitudes [6,7]. Current knowledge about exercise and oxidative stress at high altitudes has been obtained from a limited number of studies. We will discuss the effect of high altitude exercise on oxidative stress level by reviewing relevant publications between 1997 and 2017 at Google academy and PubMed
