This study investigates the acute effects of pre-exercise voluntary hyperventilation on pulmonary gas exchange, cardiovascular responses, and anaerobic performance during a 30-second Wingate test in athletic males using a randomized crossover design.
Background The purpose of this study was to examine how hyperventilation (HV) affected pulmonary gas exchange, cardiovascular responses, and supramaximal performance during a 30-second Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT). Methods In a randomized crossover design, 18 athletic males completed both a control session and an HV session (30 breaths/min for 2 min prior to the WAnT).

Participants performed voluntary hyperventilation at a rate of 30 breaths/min for 2 minutes prior to the 30-second Wingate anaerobic test.
Participants performed the 30-second Wingate test under control conditions without pre-exercise hyperventilation.
