Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers conducted a single-blind crossover randomised trial with nine male university students to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) versus mild hyperbaric air (MHA) on perceived fatigue after 60 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise.

What They Found

In the hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) group, mean visual analog scale (VAS) scores for whole-body fatigue significantly improved from 48.4 to 28.7 after intervention. This improvement in perceived fatigue was not objectively supported by blood test results.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

Limitations include a small sample size of nine male university students and the lack of objective support for fatigue reduction from blood test results.
