Effect of Sildenafil Citrate on Exercise Capacity in Athletes With ...

It is unknown whether it can improve the performance of athletes with spinal cord injury (SCI) at moderate altitudes (<2200 m), relevant to Paralympic competitions. As most men with SCI suffer from erectile dysfunction of neurologic origin and use sildenafil on a regular basis, it seems important to study the impact of sildenafil on exercise ...

Sildenafil does not reliably improve exercise performance in hypoxia: a ...

The authors concluded that below 3000 m, the HPV response does not increase CO enough for sildenafil to cause a recognisable improvement in performance and CaO 2 is the primary limiting factor of performance. Unfortunately, because of the measurement technique used in the study, CO was measured in only 8 of 21 participants.
