Sports Hyperbaric
Sports hyperbaric is not just for pro athletes anymore. Everyday people can feel Hyperbaric chamber benifits
Recovery
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may serve to provide a means of therapy to facilitate a speedier resumption to pre-injury activity levels as well as improve the short and long term prognosis of the injury (Babler and Rhodes, " The role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Sports Medicine." Sports med. 2000)
Fatigue
Increase the oxygen supply to a musculoskeletal system in the state of fatigue activates cellular activity, increases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis, and promotes the metabolism of fatigue substances. HBOT is considered as a method of promoting recovery from fatigue. (Ishii et al, " Hyperbaric As An Adjuvent Athlete". Sportsmed. 2005)
Performance
The increased oxygenation allows for many health benifits, such as cell growth and regeneration, detoxification, immune support, new capillary growth, and improved neurological functioning.
The Power Of Oxygen
On average, an individual consumes about six pounds of oxygen per day, far outhweighing any other nutrient demands. Although oxygen performs many roles in the body, its primary role is in the production of energy. Yes, that is correct, only fifty percent of our energy comes from fats and carbohydrates we consume. In order for our bodies to make this stored energy usable, our cells must convert this energy into molecules of ATP using oxygen!
By using the hyperbaric chamber, we are able to greatly increase the partial pressure of oxygen, which then dissolves the oxygen into plasma and other waterborne fluids of the body. This is extremely significant because water and gases dissolved within it, are able to cross the cells semi-permeable membrane via osmosis and diffusion. Since the body is approximately seventy percent water and every cell literally bathes in water, we use the chamber to deliver oxygen to every tissue in the body...our bodies do the rest!
Often the terms "decompression chamber", "recompression chamber" and "hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber" are used interchangeably. The names reflect the different purposes that the chambers are designed for, rather than their capability. Each is capable of operating in the others' role:
- a recompression chamber is used to treat divers suffering from certain diving disorders such as decompression sickness
- a hyperbaric oxygen therapy chamber is used in a hospital or sporting context to treat patients whose condition might benefit from hyperbaric oxygen treatment, including divers.
Gain The Advantage With HBOT - Hyperbaric chamber benifits.
- Deliver oxygen to tissues up to 25 times normal levels
- Stimulate the production of body stem cells
- Boost immune system function
- Decrease swelling and inflammation
- Help the body to clear toxins and increases the bodys ability to fight infection
- Promote regeneration of injured tissues
- Reduce chronic fatigue symptoms
- Decrease ligament and tissue healing time
- successfully treat traumatic and ischemic brain injuries
