Abstract
Previous studies show that people residing at the highlands had the potential in physical endurance. The main objective of this study was to obtain the physiological and haematological profile of the highlanders residing at Mount Kinabalu. 27 male and four female porters and guides with age ranged from 17 to 51 years old working at the Sabah National Park voluntarily participated in the study. Anthropometric measurement, physiological attributes and hematological components were measured. Even though the participants had high haemoglobin levels, their VO2max were below the average level. Follow-up studies should consider assessment of other physiological factors at higher altitudes.
