High Intensity Cycling Before SCUBA Diving Reduces Post-decompression Microparticle Production and Neutrophil Activation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Decompression Sickness, SCUBA Diving

In brief

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.
