Can thin mountain air choke an Athlete's performance?

NCT ID NCT07466849

Summary

This study aimed to understand how high-altitude training affects a breathing condition called exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in elite race walkers. Researchers tested 64 athletes to see if altitude makes EIB worse and how it impacts their competitive performance. The study involved repeated breathing tests, blood draws, and performance measurements during both normal and high-altitude training phases.
