Summary
We propose that acid reflux affects respiratory dynamics (breathing) in patients who are
exercising and that athletes improve their exercise capacity with acid suppression therapy.
It is our intent to determine whether treatment of GER with strong acid suppression may
alleviate symptoms, improve exercise capacity, and improve quality of life.
