Ozone Exposure and Exercise Intensity
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The project will look to investigate whether exercise during ozone exposure performed for a shorter duration at a higher intensity is more harmful than exercise performed for a longer duration at a lighter intensity. To assess this, participants will perform these exercise conditions with and without ozone exposure and researchers will assess changes in lung function, subjective symptoms, and breathing mechanics to determine which is more harmful.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for individuals who can safely perform exercises at varying intensities. Participants must be able to exercise with and without exposure to ozone, as the study aims to understand how different exercise intensities interact with ozone exposure.Inclusion Criteria
