ClinConnect Summary

The goal of this interventional trial is to determine changes in the concentration of cardiac biomarkers in blood in response to exercise performed until volitional exhaustion: (1) after a single exposure to normoxia and normobaric hypoxic conditions with varying levels of the hypoxic stimulus, in trained and untrained men; (2) after 3 weeks of endurance training in normobaric hypoxia in cyclists (eccentric hypertrophy); (3) after 3 weeks of resistance training in normobaric hypoxia in strength athletes (concentric hypertrophy).

The research project involves assessing the physiological sta...
