Abstract
The increase in oxygen delivery from hyperbaric oxygen chambers is used by athletes in hopes of increasing recovery and/or performance, but there is no data on the time it takes to increase oxygen saturation and how long the increase in oxygen saturation may last for athletes. Twenty-two aerobically trained individuals [males (n=12), females (n=10)] were included in the study. The present study investigated a) minute-by-minute oxygen saturation changes to identify the rate of change and where it stabilizes, b) oxygen dynamics in arterial and capillary oxygen saturation, and c) differences between sexes. Relative to baseline, trained females and males had an average increase in tissue oxygen saturation by 12.92% and 7.57% with the first significant increase within 6 (p=0.008) and 9 (p=0.002) minutes, respectively, in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Relative to baseline, the average tissue oxygen saturation was still elevated in trained females and males up to 15 minutes (p<0.001, p=0.03) after exiting the hyperbaric oxygen chamber with an average increase of 11.87% and 4.04%, respectively. The hyperbaric oxygen chamber is an effective means to acutely increase tissue oxygen saturation in athletes.
