Methodological Study of Exercise and Hypoxic Conditions in Healthy Subjects

• Negative pregnancy test and highly effective contraception for women of childbearing age

Exclusion Criteria:

• Cardiorespiratory, metabolic and neurological disorders, or other conditions assessed during the inclusion consultation that may affect physiological responses to exercise or hypoxia
• Pharmacological treatment taken during the study, other than oral or implantable contraceptive medication for female volunteers of childbearing age
