The aim of this study is to determine the acute effect of high flow nasal cannula on the distribution of pulmonary ventilation and respiratory effort during physical exercise in healthy subjects.', 'detailedDescription': 'A randomized, cross-over clinical trial in which either HFNC or Sham may be used as an adjunct on a cycle ergometer in random order will be performed to compare the respiratory effort and distribution of pulmonary ventilation continuously.
