I guess it is. I didn't Google it.
Is it common knowledge of the difference in resting and max heart rate - and power drop?
Thing is the power drop is interesting. How do you compare it? If sea level watts are X at Y HR, do you say the altitude watts are Z at Y HR too? Or do you just ask the athlete their perceived effort and compare numbers?
VO2 max, lactate levels? I don't know how to compare them.
USAC National Hill Climbing Championship (RR) starts at 9,000' and finishes at 14,000'.
Is that a legitimate race, or a test of altitude performance?
