Abstract

We tested a PEEP (4.2 cmH₂O) mouthpiece (PMP) on maximal cycling performance in healthy adults. Experiment-1, PMP vs. non-PMP mouthpiece (CON) [n = 9 (5♂), Age = 30 ± 2 yr]; Experiment-2, PMP vs. no mouthpiece (NMP) [n = 10 (7♂), Age = 27 ± 1 yr]. At timepoint 1 in both experiments (mouthpiece condition randomized) subjects performed graded cycling testing (GXT) (Corival® cycle ergometer) to determine V˙O_{2peak (ml∗kg∗min}⁻¹), O₂pulse _(mlO₂∗bt⁻¹), GXT endurance time (GXT-T_(s)), and V˙O_{2(ml∗kg∗min}⁻¹)-at-ventilatory-threshold (V˙O₂ @VT). At timepoint 2 72 h later, subjects completed a ventilatory-threshold-endurance-ride [VTER_(s)] timed to exhaustion at V˙O₂ @VT power _(W). One week later at timepoints 3 and 4 (time-of-day controlled), subjects repeated testing protocols under the alternate mouthpiece condition. Selected results (paired T-test, p<0.05): Experiment 1 PMP vs. CON, respectively: V˙O_2peak = 45.2 ± 2.4 vs. 42.4 ± 2.3 p<0.05; V˙O₂@VT = 33.7 ± 2.0 vs. 32.3 ± 1.6; GXT-TTE = 521.7 ± 73.4 vs. 495.3 ± 72.8 (p<0.05); VTER = 846.2 ± 166.0 vs. 743.1 ± 124.7; O2pulse = 24.5 ± 1.4 vs. 23.1 ± 1.3 (p<0.05). Experiment 2 PMP vs. NMP, respectively: V˙O_2peak = 43.3 ± 1.6 vs. 41.7 ± 1.6 (p<0.05); V˙O₂@VT = 31.1 ± 1.2 vs. 29.1 ± 1.3 (p<0.05); GXT-TTE = 511.7 ± 49.6 vs. 486.4 ± 49.6 (p<0.05); VTER 872.4 ± 134.0 vs. 792.9 ± 122.4; O₂pulse = 24.1 ± 0.9 vs. 23.4 ± 0.9 (p<0.05). Results demonstrate that the PMP conferred a significant performance benefit to cyclists completing high intensity cycling exercise.
