Athletes Use Portable Hyperbaric Oxygen
Chambers for Fast Fitness Results
As portable
hyperbaric oxygen chambers get a better reputation in the medical
world, they also are becoming more widely used for those who simply
want to be more healthy or fit. Athletes who have access to the
chambers have made hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) a sort of trend.
Pro football star Darren Sharper has his own chamber and uses it in
his own home. His is portable, so he is able to take it along when
his teach travels. The set includes the foldable, zip-up chamber and
an attached generator that pumps pure oxygen into it. Sharper has
said that he uses it daily for between two and three hours and feels
better because of it, more relaxed and more rested each morning. The
athlete first used the hyperbaric chamber because of a knee injury,
and has continued the HBOT ever since.
Hyperbaric therapy increases the ability of red blood cells and
plasma to carry oxygen to the tissue in the body, healing any
ruptures or tears and generally restoring the body to excellent
condition very quickly. After time, muscle can be repaired and the
brain will function better. Some athletes also use the hyperbaric
chamber as an alternative to altitude training or blood replacement.
Lance Armstrong, the seven-time Tour de France winner who recently
made a comeback and placed third in another Tour, has also used a
portable hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Many cyclists train at higher
altitudes, where there is less oxygen, so that the body feels like
it has more than enough at regular elevations. Sometimes this makes
an athlete’s lung capacity greater, as well as simply enabling the
red blood cells to carry more oxygen. Other athletes get blood taken
out of their body and train with this deficiency, so that the body
is used to working with less blood and oxygen, then get the blood
replaced before a race or game. There are medications that replenish
the oxygen supply in the blood, but these drugs are banned from most
events, and hyperbaric chambers remain one of the most effective and
well-regarded methods for athletic training.
Armstrong’s career has been fraught with battles against cancer, but
though doctors have experimented with hyperbaric chambers for cancer
treatment, most experts agree that Armstrong was using the chamber
for athletic reasons. HBOT has also delivered positive results for
patients of strokes, autism, cerebral palsy, and many other diseases
and afflictions. Not all doctors are ready to endorse HBOT in all
cases, just because its effects could be different for any patient.
But as its success rate climbs higher and higher, doctors are more
readily recommending it for patients with diseases as well as
athletes and anyone interested.
Do as much research as possible before investing in one of these.
The hyperbaric chamber could be perfect for you as an athlete, or
just as someone who wants to maximize healthiness.
