Salbutamol effects on systemic potassium dynamics during and following intense continuous and intermittent exercise
Purpose Salbutamol inhalation is permissible by WADA in athletic competition for asthma management and affects potassium regulation, which is vital for muscle function. Salbutamol effects on arterial potassium concentration ([K + ] a ) during and after high-intensity continuous exercise (HI cont ) a...

Methods
Seven recreationally active men participated in a double-blind, randomised, cross-over design, inhaling 1000 µg salbutamol or placebo. Participants cycled continuously for 5 min at 40 %
