Sports performance
Hyperbaric therapy is an established method for increasing sports performance. By improving mitochondrial respiration and increasing mitochondrial population, increases in the maximum volume of oxygen consumed (VO2 max), muscle strength and anaerobic threshold (VO2AT) are achieved.
A new study shows the positive effects of hyperbaric therapy on the sports performance of middle-aged athletes.
Famous athletes such as Michael Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James and many others have also been using the hyperbaric treatment for years to recover and increase sports performance.
