Ergogenic Effects of Salbutamol in Healthy Males Clinical Trial
Official title:
The Effect of High Dose Salbutamol on Dynamic and Isometric Muscle Power and Recovery in Well-trained Males
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.
