Athletes & Viagra

[Dr Mordrid]

Up, up and away!

Researchers writing in the Journal of Applied Physiology have reported on some intriguing trials conducted at simulated high altitude with athletes who took the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra (no, not that sort of trial). It seems that Viagra improved the cardiovascular and exercise performance measures of the cyclists by up to 45 percent, although the effect seemed to be limited to around half the cyclists taking part.
