NCT ID NCT07625696
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether breathing mild hyperbaric oxygen (1.3 ATA, 28% oxygen) for 6 weeks can help 16 elite male sailors recover from sports fatigue. The goal is to see if it improves heart rate balance, blood flow in muscles, and fatigue-related blood markers. Results will guide future larger studies on faster recovery for athletes.
