About this study

Windsurfers will perform resting spirometry and exercise test on cycle ergometer until exhaustion in two conditions: with or without equipment. The investigators will measure Forced Vital Capacity, FEV1 peak flow at rest and oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide consumption, ventilation at each step of the incremental exercise and at exhaustion.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Treatment and study plan

resting standard spirometry

Diagnostic Test

The subject (seated, bust straightened) should perform, after a slow and maximum inspiration, a forced and complete exhalation followed by a new inspiration to the total lung capacity.

maximum exercise testing

Diagnostic Test

Incremental exercise on cycle ergometer with 100W start for men (80W for women) for 4 minutes as part of the warm-up. Then, step increment of a 50W power for men (40W for women) lasting 2 minutes each.

Primary outcomes

  1. Forced Vital Capacity (FVC in L) at rest.
