Sponsor's own description

It is well documented that exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH) is highly prevalent among endurance-trained athletes performing heavy intensity exercise, regardless of sex and age. Although it has been shown that a drop in arterial oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO2) during exercise (i.e. EIAH) negatively affects aerobic capacity measures such as VO2max and time trial performance, there remains a gap in the literature as to the physiological consequences of EIAH, and specifically acute cytokines and stress-related responses to hypoxemia during exercise. Exposure to hypoxic environments in which SaO2 is reduced and exercise can each, independently, alter/activate various pro- and anti-inflammatory markers and increases stress hormones. It follows then that EIAH athletes could be more susceptible to, and encounter more frequently, episodes of elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines and an exaggerated stress response than non-EIAH athletes; however, to the best of the investigators knowledge, this is yet to be confirmed. Therefore, it is hypothesized that highly trained endurance athletes who develop EIAH will experience more pronounced increases in inflammatory cytokines and stress hormones following a bout of heavy intensity exercise compared to athletes without EIAH.
