Why the study?
Does a 50 mile cycle trial in a hypoxic environment induce cardiac fatigue or damage in trained male triathletes?
Population
8 trained male triathletes
Comparison
50 mile cycle trial in normobaric hypoxia vs 50 mile cycle trial in normobaric normoxia
Design
RCT, randomly assigned
Follow-up
24 hours after exercise

No cardiac fatigue from prolonged hypoxic cycling in trained triathletes; extends safety data to normobaric hypoxia.
Does a 50 mile cycle trial in a hypoxic environment induce cardiac fatigue or damage in trained male triathletes?
Prolonged exercise in normobaric hypoxia does not induce significant cardiac fatigue, though minimal cardiac damage (troponin T elevation) may occur in isolated cases.
Shave et al. (2004) studied this question.
