  • VO2 max test as part of a study into whether asthma medication (Salbutamol) may be a performance enhancer

    That's been done to death already, hasn't it? It's beneficial to those with asthma, but not to those without.

    Free VO2 max test though. Enjoy the pain!

  • That's kind of what I thought. According to the study blurb, "Salbutamol is commonly used to treat athletes with asthma. There is little research available that investigates whether this medication provides a performance enhancing effect. The purpose of this study is to investigate the interaction of high doses of inhaled salbutamol on repeated cycle sprint performance. The findings of this study will inform the World Anti-Doping Agency policy on athletes using these medications in the future."

    But yeah, free VO2 max test. Can't wait!
