No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The project will look to investigate whether exercise during ozone exposure performed for a shorter duration at a higher intensity is more harmful than exercise performed for a longer duration at a lighter intensity. To assess this, participants will perform these exercise conditions with and without ozone exposure and researchers will assess changes in lung function, subjective symptoms, and breathing mechanics to determine which is more harmful.

Conditions

  • Ozone
  • Exercise Intensity

Interventions

OTHER

Ozone

Ozone is a pollutant that forms as a result of nitrogen oxides or volatile organic compounds interacting with UV radiation. Ozone will be created via a generator in the lab

BEHAVIORAL

Heavy Intensity

Heavy intensity exercise between the first and second ventilatory threshold for 45 minutes

BEHAVIORAL

Moderate Intensity

Moderate intensity exercise below the first ventilatory threshold for approximately 75 minutes

OTHER

Filtered Air

Exposure to filtered air (\<10 ppb ozone)
