Breathing training and nitrate for altitude exercise
This study tests whether breathing training and a natural nitrate supplement (from beets) can improve how well you exercise in conditions that simulate high altitude. You'll do cycling workouts while we measure your performance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You exercise at least 3 hours a week.
- You have not smoked or used tobacco in the last 6 months.
- You do not have any heart, lung, or metabolic condition.
- You are willing to avoid foods like beets, spinach, or arugula for 2 days before each test session.
