Athletes today
are always looking for the latest and greatest “Performance
Enhancement Product”. In fact, many are willing to utilize illegal
and/or experimental substances in hopes of unlocking some hidden
potential that is believed impossible with good old fashioned hard
work and healthy living. Others, on the other hand, are willing to
put in the time and realize that longevity in any sport does not
come from the quick fix, but rather from building on the small gains
of the everyday struggle for perfection.
So for many athletes, the question still remains… “Where and who do
I turn to if I’m not interested in the quick fix?” One such tool
that more and more athletes, professional and otherwise, are turning
to today is mild hyperbaric. Mild hyperbaric is the use of very mild
pressure (only 4.4 psig) applied safely and conveniently for usually
about an hour with a mild portable hyperbaric chamber either in the
athletes own home or at a local clinic.
Unlike many
ergogenic aids such as steroids, mild hyperbaric has not received
the same press and exposure throughout the athletic community, but
does that mean that it is any less of a performance enhancement aid?
The answer is no! However, we must go back and define what we mean
by Performance Enhancement Aid. Will athletes see a 10% gain in
power or speed within a week of utilizing mild hyperbaric?
Certainly not!
Will endurance athletes get a direct competitive edge from the
dissolved oxygen if they do a mild hyperbaric session just prior to
an event? Absolutely not! And for these reasons major organizations
like the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and the NCAA
(National Collegiate Athletic Association) do not list hyperbaric as
a banned substance or activity for competing athletes. Then how does
hyperbaric benefit the competitive athlete? Hyperbaric has two main
avenues with which athletes can dramatically benefit from.
