The main psychological problem of high mountain acclimatization of the athletes may be seen in the consequences of a generalized feeling of fatigue in high mountain environment which are compared with similar sensations after the training in lowlands - and that may bring depressive states. It is recommendable to contact the athlete in the period of arrival euphoria as well as later on in the state of manifested apathy.

The course of acclimatization processes is rather individual.
