Summary
This study seeks to determine whether a simple, single intervention of Cetirizine / Zyrtec®
use can improve exercise performance of active individuals when acutely exposed to altitude.
For this project, healthy subjects will perform steady state and progressive work rate
exercise, endurance performance time trials, and repeated sprint performance time trials in
the laboratory at a simulated altitude of 3000m (9900ft) after dosing with 10 mg of
Cetirizine or a placebo in a repeated measures design.
