Physiological Adaptations to Simulated Intermittent Altitude on Human Health and Performance

Investigation of Physiological Adaptations to Simulated Intermittent Altitude on Human Health and Performance

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 71 (actual)
• Sponsor: Mayo Clinic · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 70 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

The investigators expect to find that different intensity and altitude exposure levels will show what kind of intermittent exposure protocol is more beneficial to athletes and healthy individuals that experience acute exposure to altitude during exercise. This may furthermore be related to acute altitude exposure for recreational exercise use as well.

Conditions

• Altitude Hypoxia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Simulated altitude	Participants will exercise in simulated altitude will range between 2100 feet and 16400 feet and will increase according to arm guidelines
OTHER	Placebo simulated altitude	Participants will exercise at sea level at similar percentage of intensities to the simulated altitude group.
