Intermittent Hypoxia (IH)

Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute hypoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.09-0.12) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21). During hypoxic intervals, oxygen concentration may be adjusted to maintain participants SpO2 levels between 75-90%.

DEVICE

SHAM

Administered over a period of 5 consecutive days involving daily, hour long sessions of alternating 6-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21) with 3-minute normoxic intervals (FIO2 = 0.21).
