The sporting world has become more and more competitive with athletes constantly looking for ways to enhance sporting performances and reduce injury time.
Physiological fatigue, injuries and reduced mental clarity are all issues that must be resolved to ensure an athlete can perform to an optimum level. So how can you reduce or eliminate symptoms of these issues? Hyperbaric oxygenation!
- Sports performance requires large amounts of physical exertion, resulting in physiological fatigue. Naturally, the body uses oxygen to combat fatigue. Hyperbaric oxygenation can accelerate this process by increasing oxygen absorption and increasing oxygen levels in tissues and cells.
- It is common for athletes to train at higher altitudes to increase red blood cell production and oxygen-carrying capabilities of the blood. Hyperbaric oxygenation produces a similar result of increased circulation and oxygenation of the blood.
- Athletes require not only physical strength and endurance, but mental clarity, stamina, and focus to perform at their best. The brain needs significant amounts of oxygen, which hyperbaric oxygenation provides. The influx of oxygen to the brain sparks energy production, wakes up inactive neurons, and helps to build the connections in your brain. Brain scans even illustrate how the brain lights up with activity after hyperbaric oxygenation. It is also known to stimulate focus, memory, and clearer thinking while reducing feelings of “brain fog”.
- Hyperbaric oxygenation has also been proven to reduce injury recovery time and reduce susceptibility for re-injury.
Hyperbaric oxygenation continues to be a tool for athletes due to the many benefits one can achieve. Contact OxyGeneration for more information on 091-394444.
