Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in erythropoietin levels

    Hormone that regulates red blood cell production

    Measured before and 4.5 hours after intermittent hypoxia

Study Arms (2)

Intermittent hypoxia

EXPERIMENTAL

The intermittent hypoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute hypoxic cycles (arterial oxygen saturation of 80%) interspersed with normoxic cycles to resaturation.

Behavioral: Intermittent hypoxia

Intermittent normoxia

SHAM COMPARATOR

The intermittent normoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute normoxic cycles (compressed air) interspersed with 1-minute normoxic cycles (room air).

Behavioral: Intermittent normoxia

Interventions

The intermittent hypoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute hypoxic cycles (arterial oxygen saturation of 80%) interspersed with normoxic cycles to resaturation.

Intermittent hypoxia

The intermittent normoxia protocol will consist of eight 4-minute normoxic cycles (compressed air) interspersed with 1-minute normoxic cycles (room air)
