Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers investigated the effect of a single hyperbaric oxygen treatment on oxygen uptake and blood and tissue oxygen levels in a normobaric environment in 10 moderately trained men.

What They Found

They found that VO2MAX, running time, and peak blood lactate were not altered after the hyperbaric oxygen treatment. Leg transcutaneous oxygen tension was lower (p = 0.003) and venous partial pressure of oxygen was significantly lower (p<0.001) in the first three minutes post-treatment, while chest transcutaneous oxygen tension remained unchanged.

Canadian Relevance

This study has Canadian relevance as several authors are from Canada.

Study Limitations

A limitation of this study is its small sample size of only 10 moderately trained men.
