The Pulmonary Consequences of Participating in the UTMB and Hong Kong 100 Ultramarathons and Impact of Phased Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
This research is being done to better understand the pulmonary consequences of completing an
ultra marathon at altitude and a sea level city.
ultra marathon at altitude and a sea level city.
Subjects will be asked to undertake three (3) sets of assessments at prescribed time
intervals: Baseline (at 72-24h prior to each event), immediately post (within 2h of race
completion) and during recovery (within 24-48h of race completion). Each assessment will
consist of 1)lung function tests; 2) a saliva and blood sample; 3) a lung and cardiac
ultrasound. Subjects will be recruited from a range of age groups and fitness levels, before
being divided into a sham or treatment group. Both groups will use a commercially available
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy device (50% of devices will not produce
electromagnetic fields - i.e., sham device) before the event and during recovery.
