Change from baseline values of number of circulating microparticles per microliter of blood

Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of high intensity,anaerobic exercise, in the form of cycling, on SCUBA diving. Outcomes are determined by the quantification and subtype of circulating microparticles, complete blood counts, and the quantification of venous gas emboli, measured via transthoracic echocardiography, in the cardiac cavities.
