NCT ID NCT05447416
First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looks at two different training methods—intermittent hypoxic training (breathing low-oxygen air) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing high-pressure oxygen)—to see which one improves aerobic performance better. About 66 healthy athletes aged 18-45 who train at least 4 times a week will take part. Researchers will measure changes in exercise tests to find out which method works best.
