Inhaled NO does not improve gas exchange in highly trained cyclists during normoxic or hypoxic exercise; challenges assumptions of benefit and supports avoiding its use.
Does inhaled nitric oxide improve gas exchange during normoxic and hypoxic exercise in highly trained cyclists?
Inhalation of 20 ppm nitric oxide during normoxic and hypoxic exercise does not improve gas exchange in highly trained cyclists.
