EFFECTS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN ON MUSCLE FATIGUE AFTER MAXIMAL INTERMITTENT PLANTAR FLEXION EXERCISE.

The article presents a study which aims to examine the effects of hyperbaric oxgen (HBO) on muscle fatigue after maximal intermittent plantar flexion exercise. The study includes 20 healthy male volunteers who were randomly assigned to either HBO or normoxic group and were blined to their treatment and group assignment. The study results suggests that HBO can contribute to the prevetion of excess fatigue of agonist muscles for specific exercises that involve repeated jumping.
