Condition(s) targeted: Ergogenic Effects of Salbutamol in Healthy Males
Intervention: salbutamol (Drug); Placebo (Drug)
Phase: N/A
Status: Active, not recruiting
Sponsored by: Bispebjerg Hospital
Summary
Many athletes use beta2-agonists as treatment of airway hyperresponsiveness during exercise.
High dose beta2-agonists may have an ergogenic effect on exercise performance. We hypotheis
that the beta2-agonist, salbutamol, taken in high doses can improve muscle power and
recovery during exercise in well-trained athletes.
