Reasons Many Athletes Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers

We often see athletes inhaling oxygen between games, and using oxygen chambers to regulate physical fatigue after the game. As we all know, when we exercise at a high intensity, lactic acid will be produced in the body and we will feel muscle soreness.

Athletes need to maintain good physical condition and recover in time.So how could extra oxygen help? How can hyperbaric oxygen chamber help athletes?

Michael Phelps, LeBron James, Rashad Jennings, Rafael Soriano, and Joe Namath are just a few athletes 

who have used hyperbaric chambers. Some of the benefits you’ll hear from some of these athletes include:

● Feeling better after sleeping

● Feeling more energy

● Recovering from soreness faster

● Recovering from injuries faster

●Sharpened mental clarity

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works for Athletes?

The basic principle of hyperbaric oxygen therapy is to increase the oxygen content in the blood and distribute oxygen to tissues and organs throughout the body under the action of pressure gradient, thereby improving the ischemic and hypoxic state of tissues and organs. This process can reduce the permeability of blood vessel walls, reduce exudation and edema, reduce the tension of local soft tissues, and facilitate smooth blood circulation. During the acute inflammatory phase, the permeability of blood vessels at the injured site increases and inflammatory factors are produced, causing local swelling and pain. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces swelling and pain at the injured site by providing sufficient oxygen without accelerating blood flow.

This is very attractive for athletes and people with busy schedules. Treatment sessions last 60 to 120 minutes. During this period, people can read, listen to music, watch movies, etc. to relax and recover.

Also，Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help athletes from:

● Increases mental focus

● Increases serotonin levels

● Improves blood circulation

● Increases energy levels

● Increases Collagen Production

● Accelerates jet lag recovery

● Reduces lactic acid

● Hyperbaric chamber muscle recovery can reduce muscle fatigue and stretch injury

● Reduces Inflammation & Pain

● Reduces Susceptibility Towards Re-injuring Target Areas

● Heal soft tissues, ligaments and fractures faster

● Enhances Recovery from Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) & Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Injuries
