    Exposure to ozone significantly reduces exercise capacity and oxygen consumption in healthy males. Ozone inhalation limits ventilation, likely due to respiratory discomfort, impacting maximum aerobic performance.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental Health
    • Exercise Physiology
    • Pulmonary Medicine

    Background:

    • Ozone is a major air pollutant impacting respiratory health.
    • Understanding ozone's effects on exercise performance is crucial for public health.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of ozone exposure on maximal exercise oxygen consumption and related physiological parameters.
    • To determine if ozone exposure limits exercise performance through ventilatory constraints.

    Main Methods:

    • Healthy adult males underwent maximal exercise tests on a bicycle ergometer.
    • Tests were conducted in an environmental chamber with either filtered air or filtered air plus 0.75 ppm ozone.
    • Measurements included oxygen consumption (VO2), workload, ventilation, heart rate, and respiratory patterns.

    Main Results:

    • Ozone exposure reduced maximal VO2 by 10%, maximal workload by 10%, and maximal ventilation by 16%.
    • Respiratory discomfort, reduced tidal volume, and decreased vital capacity and FEV1.0 were observed post-ozone exposure.
    • At maximal exercise, tidal volume was 21% lower following ozone exposure, indicating ventilatory limitation.

    Conclusions:

    • Ozone exposure significantly impairs maximal exercise capacity in healthy individuals.
    • The reduction in maximal oxygen consumption is attributed to ventilatory limitation, likely exacerbated by respiratory discomfort.
    • These findings highlight the detrimental effects of ozone on physical performance and respiratory function.
