Tramadol and sport: Effects on physical and sustained attention performance during cycling exercise

Project Title: Tramadol and sport: Effects on physical and sustained attention performance during cycling exercise (University of Granada, Spain)

Researchers: Dr. D. Sanabria, Dr. M. Diaz 

Institution: University of Granada, Spain

Year accepted: 2015

Summary: The aims of this project are: 1) to investigate the impact of Tramadol on physical performance in cycling with a Functional threshold power test (1st year); 2) to investigate the effect of Tramadol on sustained attention at rest (1st year) and during exercise (2nd year) with the Continuous Performance Task; 3) to study whether sustained attention might mediate the effect of Tramadol on cycling performance with an ecologically-valid task (3rd year).
