Exercise Performance
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of the project is to investigate exercise performance in well-trained individuals in a crossover design following varying degrees of bronchodilation/constriction intervention using current standard procedures.
Interventions
Participants are administered 54 μg Formoterol and 1920 μg Budesonide
Participants are administered 54 μg Formoterol from an inhaler device
Participants are administered placebo
Participants are administered 600 mg Bronchitol
