High-Altitude Research Study (Denver, CO area)

Male subjects needed for research on how breathing training affects performance at high altitude.

This is a study for US Special Forces, so at this time we are recruiting male subjects who are:
- 18-45 years old, not overweight, non-smokers
- Healthy, not on any regular medications, able to ride a stationary bike for up to 2 hours
- Not suffering from migraine headaches, anemia, or sickle cell disease
- Willing to not go to the mountains (higher altitudes) for the duration of the study (6 weeks)
- Able to commit up to 6 hours per week for exercise and breathing training for 4 weeks

We will measure your VO2max (peak oxygen uptake) twice at Denver altitude and twice at 16,000 feet.

- You will receive these results once the study has been completed

The total time commitment is for up to 48 hours over the course of 6-8 weeks.

Part of the study will be at a simulated altitude of 16,000 feet in a hypobaric chamber.

Please call 303-724-1675 for more information.

That's a pretty big commitment... Especially for people who chose to live by the mountains to pledge not to go in the mountains for 6 weeks during ski season! What does this pay?

I live in Denver and would have possibly considered this, but I'm going to Breckenridge in a few weeks so I'm out.

But how the heck are you going to test at 16k feet? I've only done 14ers... where are the Colorado 16ers?
