Participant Flow

24 participants were screened for inclusion by the researchers during an initial study visit.

22 eligible participants were randomized, with 20 opting to complete the two experimental visits in this crossover design.

Measure
Ozone (O3) First, Then Room Air
Participants completed submaximal and maximal exercise during a single study visit exposed to O3 (170ppb). After a 72 hour washout period, they then completed identical procedures exposed to room air.
