Details and patient eligibility

About

The objective of this research is to assess the effects of acetazolamide and methazolamide on respiratory and limb muscle fatigue development. A fatiguing protocol will be conducted for the respiratory and plantar flexor muscles and the difference in pressure/torque produced by supramaximal nerve stimulation used to assess muscle fatigue between conditions.

13 participants in 3 patient groups, including a placebo group

Acetazolamide
Experimental group
Description:
Participants will be dosed 250mg acetazolamide (p.o.) three times per day for two days prior to and a single dose on the morning of the experimental day.
Treatment:
Drug: Acetazolamide
Methazolamide
Experimental group
Description:
Participants will be dosed 100mg Methazolamide (p.o.) two times per day separated by a placebo dose for two days prior to and a single dose on the morning of the experimental day. The placebo dose is used to match the timing and number of pills taken between all arms of the study.
Treatment:
Drug: Methazolamide
Placebo
Placebo Comparator group
Description:
Participants will take three placebo pills per day for two days prior to and a single dose on the morning of the experimental day.
Treatment:
Other: Placebo
