Purpose: To determine the effect of formoterol and salbutamol on the arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) of highly trained nonasthmatic athletes with exercise-induced arterial hypoxemia (EIAH). Methods: Ten male athletes (age = 27.1 ± 0.7, V̇O2max = 65.2 ± 2.5 mL·kg-1, min-1, SaO2min = 91.0 ± 2.1%) with minimal bronchial reactivity to aerosols (i.e., negative methacholine challenge test) completed three identical exercise sessions differing only by the medication administered. Formoterol (F), a long-acting β-2 agonist, was compared with salbutamol (S) and a placebo (P). F (12 μg), S (400 μg), or P was administered by a Turbuhaler, 10 min before exercise testing in a double-blind, randomized, three-way crossover design. Testing sessions included an incremental cycle ergometer test to exhaustion, while monitoring SaO2 and ventilation, and a pre- and postexercise pulmonary function test. Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in SaO2 nadir with exercise (F = 92.0 ± 1.0; S = 92.0 ± 1.0; P = 91.0 ± 0.7%). During the maximal incremental test, no differences were observed in SaO2 or minute ventilation between the three experimental conditions. Pulmonary function tests revealed a significant increase in FEV1 and FEV1/FVC after exercise in all conditions. Drug administration increased FEV1/FVC postexercise compared with placebo (F = 87.9 ± 2.3, S = 87.6 ± 1.7 > P = 85.6 ± 2.1%; P 2 nadir or ventilation kinetics in a group of highly trained nonasthmatic athletes with EIAH.</p
