Hyperbaric therapy is a well-established technique known to enhance sports performance. It achieves this by boosting mitochondrial respiration and increasing mitochondrial count, thereby elevating maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max), muscle strength, and anaerobic threshold (VO2AT).
A recent study has underscored the beneficial impact of hyperbaric therapy on the athletic performance of middle-aged athletes.
Renowned athletes like Michael Phelps, Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, and numerous others have relied on hyperbaric treatment for years to aid in recovery and optimize sports performance.
