Abstract:Introduction
Long-duration dives on consecutive days reduces muscular performance, potentially impacting military personnel. However, a paucity of data exists on how breathing gases affect endurance performance. This study examined the influence of long-duration diving with different breathing gases on aerobic endurance and handgrip performance.
Methods
Twenty-three military divers completed a single six-hour dive (SD) and five six-hour dives over conse… Show more
