Participant Flow

Individuals without EIB were excluded. 23 tested positive for EIB, but only 18 were ultimately enrolled and scheduled for testing.

Measure
All Participants
Participants will be doing sub-maximal exercise (60% of VO2max for 30 minutes) on a cycle ergometer on four occasions in random order. On one of the occasions they will exercise while inhaling 170ppb ozone after inhaling 200ug of salbutamol. On one of the occasions they will exercise while inhaling 170ppb ozone after inhaling one puff of placebo. On one of the occasions they will exercise while room air after inhaling 200ug of salbutamol. On one of the occasions they will exercise while inhaling room air after inhaling one puff of placebo. Exercise: Cycling at 60% of VO2max on a cycle ergometer Due to the randomised nature there will be more than six possible sequences of these four exposures, thus as per guidance from clinical trials.gov we will use a single arm/group for the participant flow.
