[1] The Federation of Sports at Altitude was founded by Marino Giancometti who with other fellow climbers conducted high-altitude races across the world's most famous mountain ranges the Himalayas, Rockies, Mount Kenya, and the Mexican Volcanoes.

[2]Marino Giancometti conducted skyrunning races as part of the training for high altitude expeditions in 1992.

Skyrunning is defined as running in mountains which are above 2,000 meters in altitude with an incline over 30% and the difficulty of climbing is not more than II° grade.

It provide good environment for specialists to measure the impacts of skyrunning and conduct easy observation.

Races for skyrunning have been accept by 36 countries worldwide, and the number of skyrunners reaches 600,000 in the global domain.

[5] IFS initiates 2019 Skyrunning North American Championship with its SKY discipline, which is a strong milestone for this institution.

The places selected should consider the heights and also weather matters since it will affect the duration, the time, and risks for skyrunning.

[7] To prepare for skyrunning, one should at least involve a pair of outsole which can resist wet soils and hard rocks and have the right size to make the food comfort during the long journey.

Furthermore, a backpack might be useful to prepare some simple food, water, and other relevant stuff like windproof jacket with taped seams and trousers, a rescue blanket, a phone, a hat, as well as gloves.

The upper bodies are usually relaxed to maintain balance, and repeated practices are required for one to develop strong skills for skyrunning.

The 2019 Migu Run Skyrunner World Series will be held across countries like Japan, China, Spain, France, Greece, Italy, Norway, Bulgaria and Andorra from April to October 2019.

The findings of the studies have indicated that skyrunning is ideal for weight loss as 80% of the energy consumed diverts the mass upwards and it has ruled out health risks associated with stair climbing.

[2] Studies reveal that such enduring and extreme running on mountains also bring the health benefits such as low energy costs for those runners.

Runners intend to develop stronger physical system with the heart rate stable enough to cope with the extreme situations.

[10] Despite the healthy benefits, sky running actually face with potential health risks due to its nature of extreme sports.

Actually, ISF has listed seven fatalities during the events of skyrunning, which include one head injury, one hypothermia, and five heart failures.
