The Effect of High Dose Salbutamol on Muscle Performance

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Ergogenic Effects of Salbutamol in Healthy Males
• Interventions: Drug: Placebo; Drug: salbutamol

• Registration Number: NCT01415596
• Lead Sponsor: Bispebjerg Hospital

Brief Summary

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.
