Treatments tested in this trial
Post-Exercise Hot Water Immersion
Other interventionParticipants will cycle for 60 minutes at 50% of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) followed by 30 minutes post-exercise hot water immersion (40oC) for 5 consecutive days.
Control Group
Other interventionParticipants will cycle for 60 minutes at 50% maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) for 5 consecutive days. There is no water immersion following the exercise.
Treatment groups
20 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groupsGroup A: Post-Exercise Hot Water ImmersionExperimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Control groupActive comparator 1 intervention
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Time-Trial Performance in hypoxia conditions
Results of a 16 km time-trial test conducted at an fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) of 0.14
Time frame
30 minutesSecondary outcomes
1
Pulse oxygen saturation during exercise
Capillary oxygen saturation measured on the earlobe throughout the time-trial tests using pulse oximetry.
Time frame
30 minutes2
Skin temperature during exercise
Skin temperature measured throughout the time trial-tests and exercise training intervention using temperature probes attached to the calf, thigh, chest and arm, from which weighted averages are calculated.
Time frame
90 minutes3
Core temperature during exercise
Core body temperature measured throughout the time-trial tests and exercise training interventions using a rectal temperature probe.
Time frame
90 minutes4
Heart Rate during exercise
Heart rate will be measured throughout the time trial tests and exercise training interventions using a wireless (Polar) heart rate chest strap.
