The Bicycle Confinement Laboratory pumps out oxygen, replacing it with nitrogen to simulate 18,000 feet of altitude. The Cyclist: A trained athlete pedals at 70% of their VO2 max. The Test: Every 10 minutes, they are given a complex puzzle (a "Wisconsin Card Sorting Test"). The Finding: Bicycle Confinement Labs have proven that exercise at altitude degrades executive function before it degrades muscle performance. You feel fine on the bike, but you cannot solve basic math. This has massive implications for pilots, mountain rescue, and high-altitude warfare.
Emma rushed to his side, relieved to see that he was alive and relatively unscathed. As Jack stepped out of the chamber, he turned to Emma with a curious expression. Bicycle Confinement Laboratory
Building a Bicycle Confinement Laboratory requires merging three distinct engineering disciplines. The Finding: Bicycle Confinement Labs have proven that
