| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| ground control binocular | No Intervention | Intervention: pressure chamber environment Procedures: Colour vision tests were performed under normoxia with both eyes three times in a row for appropriate comparability to the simulated flight stages pre-peri-post hypoxia in the intervention groups | |
| ground control monocular | No Intervention | Intervention: pressure chamber environment Procedures: Colour vision tests were performed under normoxia with one eye at a time three times in a row for appropriate comparability to the simulated flight stages pre-peri-post hypoxia in the intervention groups | |
| 10,000 ft, 60 min, monocular pre-peri-post | Experimental | Intervention: Hypoxia equivalent to an altitude of 10.000 ft. for 60 minutes Procedures: Colour vision tests were performed with one eye at a time, thereby:

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Colour vision pre hypoxia monocular/binocular Waggoner CCVT | Waggoner CCVT was administered in the pressure chamber pre hypoxia intervention, thereby the following parameters were collected: - the number of correctly identified plates in the Waggoner CCVT as of the study arm "15,000 ft, 15 min, binocular" the colour vision tests were performed binocularly as of the study arms "15,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" and "10,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" the colour vision tests were performed monocularly Time Frame - additional info: - depending on the time the subjects took for the colour vision tests, the time between the end of the pre-test and the onset of hypoxia was slightly variable | Assessment was conducted 15 minutes before the start of the hypoxia intervention and the number of correctly identified plates in the Waggoner CCVT was collected |
| Colour vision pre hypoxia monocular/binocular D15 | Waggoner D15 was administered in the pressure chamber pre hypoxia intervention, thereby the following parameters were collected: - S-Index, C-Index and TES in the Waggoner D15 as of the study arm "15,000 ft, 15 min, binocular" the colour vision tests were performed binocularly as of the study arms "15,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" and "10,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" the colour vision tests were performed monocularly Time Frame - additional info: depending on the time the subjects took for the colour vision tests, the time between the end of the pre-test and the onset of hypoxia was slightly variable | Assessment was conducted 15 minutes before the start of the hypoxia intervention and S-Index, C-Index and TES in the Waggoner D15 were collected |
| Colour vision during hypoxia monocular/binocular Waggoner CCVT | Waggoner CCVT was administered in the pressure chamber during hypoxia intervention, thereby the following parameters were collected: - the number of correctly identified plates in the Waggoner CCVT as of the study arm "15,000 ft, 15 min, binocular" the colour vision tests were performed binocularly as of the study arms "15,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" and "10,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" the colour vision tests were performed monocularly Time Frame - additional info:

Volunteers
| 15,000 ft, 60 min, monocular | Experimental | Intervention: Hypoxia equivalent to an altitude of 15.000 ft. for 60 minutes Procedures: Colour vision tests were performed with one eye at a time, thereby:
|
|
| Assessment was conducted immediately or 45 minutes after induction of hypoxia and the number of correctly identified plates in the Waggoner CCVT was collected |
| Colour vision during hypoxia monocular/binocular D15 | Waggoner D15 was administered in the pressure chamber during hypoxia intervention, thereby the following parameters were collected: - S-Index, C-Index and TES in the Waggoner D15 as of the study arm "15,000 ft, 15 min, binocular" the colour vision tests were performed binocularly as of the study arms "15,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" and "10,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" the colour vision tests were performed monocularly Time Frame - additional info:
| Assessment was conducted immediately or 45 minutes after induction of hypoxia and S-Index, C-Index and TES in the Waggoner D15 were collected |
| Colour vision after hypoxia monocular/binocular Waggoner CCVT | Waggoner CCVT was administered in the pressure chamber post hypoxia intervention, thereby the following parameters were collected: - the number of correctly identified plates in the Waggoner CCVT as of the study arm "15,000 ft, 15 min, binocular" the colour vision tests were performed binocularly as of the study arms "15,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" and "10,000 ft, 60 min, monocular" the colour vision tests were performed monocularly Time Frame - additional info:
