What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves breathing pure oxygen inside a sealed chamber at increased pressure. Under these conditions, oxygen is carried not only by red blood cells but also through blood plasma, greatly increasing the body's oxygen uptake. The result? Faster recovery, improved performance and a stronger body.

Evidence-based benefit: research shows that HBOT increases oxygen delivery to damaged or tired tissue, reduces inflammation and accelerates muscle and cellular recovery (Efrati et al., 2013; Shandley et al., 2012).

Is HBOT used in elite sport?

Absolutely. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy has been part of recovery and performance protocols for years at organisations such as:

• Newcastle United
• Manchester City
• The English Rugby Football Union
• Olympic training centres in Great Britain and the United States

Elite athletes including Cristiano Ronaldo and LeBron James also use HBOT as part of their daily recovery routines.

These clubs use HBOT, for example:

• After intense matches or training.
• To help injuries heal faster.
• To increase red blood cell counts, as with altitude training, improving the blood's oxygen-carrying capacity.

Studies suggest that HBOT stimulates the production of EPO, or erythropoietin, a hormone that promotes red blood cell production. This effect is comparable to altitude training, without mountains or tents.
(The Journal of Applied Physiology, 2006)
