To evaluate the effect of acute polyphenols supplementation on vasodilation and related markers along with exercise related markers (notably performance, respiratory exchanges, perceived exertion), before, during and after a hypoxic moderate-intensity exercise in healthy recreative volunteers.
Exercise session is an ergometer cycling workout performed under hypoxia condition equivalent to 3000 meters of altitude. Exercise session is composed of a warmup period followed by 20 minutes of cycling starting at 60% of individual maximal aerobic power.
