Summary

This trial tests whether different forms of ozone therapy can help healthy adults recover faster after muscle-damaging exercise. Participants will do a set of eccentric exercises, then receive either autohemotherapy (ozonated blood reinfused), ozone sauna, ozonated lavender oil massage, or no treatment. Blood samples are taken over 72 hours to measure markers of muscle damage and fatigue.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: ozone therapy (autohemotherapy, ozone sauna, ozonated lavender oil massage)
What this could lead to: If effective, ozone therapy could offer a new way to speed up muscle recovery after intense exercise.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage trial with only 32 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Ozone therapy also carries risks like infection or allergic reaction.
