Participants will attend two study sessions. During the session 1 participants will perform a 6-minute walk test on room air oxygen to assess their suitability for the study. Only those participants with documented exertional oxygen desaturations of ≤ 85% as measured by pulse oximetry during this walk will be asked to return for the second session. During session 2 participants will perform a further four 6-minute walk tests spread over a morning and afternoon testing session. All all data for primary and secondary outcomes will be measured at session 2.
