Yes, but the effect of 5000' above sea level depends on where you
live ;-)

For example, I lived in Denver for years at over 5000'. Your body
becomes acclimated.

(Which is why Olympics training is done in nearby Colorado Springs.
When I moved back down to sea level, I could lift sofas with one hand
for about a week.)
