Description

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effect of acute ketone monoester ingestion (0.6 g KME/kg body weight) on the occurrence of the ventilatory threshold and the subsequent response of blood velocity in cerebral arteries during a maximal exercise test at low altitude and high altitude.
