What is athletic recovery? 

Athletic recovery (also known as post-exercise recovery) consists of the biological processes that restore homeostasis to many of the body’s physiological systems. Recovery is a time for the body to replenish fuel, repair damaged tissue, and regain strength for the next performance.

How does HBOT help Athletic Recovery?

As several studies have shown, HBOT is a successful recovery  tool because it:

●      Reduces post-injury swelling (5)

●      Decreases fatigue by promoting the metabolism of fatigue substances in the body (5)

●      Speeds & deepens healing of injuries (6)

●      Promotes circulation & stem cell growth, which reduces inflammation & supports the immune system (3)

●      Promotes tissue repair & stimulates collagen growth (5)

●      Reduces lactic acid, which contributes to muscle soreness (5)

●      Quickens healing of muscular fatigue, enabling athletes to recover faster for their next game or competition (5)

●      Reduces myoglobin (MB), an iron- & oxygen-binding protein in muscle tissue; high levels of MB indicate muscle damage (7)

More and more professional athletes are turning to HBOT to quicken their body’s healing after training, workouts, and competition. Some of these athletes even have a personal hyperbaric chamber in their homes so they can use HBOT as often as possible.
