Summary

In this study, we will test the hypothesis that preconditioning highly trained swimmers using skeletal muscle ischemia as the stimulus will improve exercise performance assessment.

Conditions

  • Healthy

Interventions

OTHER

Real preconditioning followed by Sham preconditioning

Subjects in this arm of the study will first receive four 5 minute cycles of upper limb ischemia interspaced with 5 minutes of reperfusion by using a blood-pressure cuff inflated to a pressure of 15 mmHg greater than systolic arterial pressure. The subjects will then cross-over to the other arm of the study and receive four 5 minute cycles of upper limb ischemia interspaced with 5 minutes of reperfusion by using a sham procedure consisting of inflating the blood pressure cuff to 10 mmHg.
