      Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in muscle oxidative capacity, which predicts muscle strength. This study aimed to investigate whether different breathing techniques (nasal or oral breathing) affect muscle performance during acute exhaustive exercise. In our study, 49 healthy individuals (24♀/25♂; age 22.8 3.4 years) performed two Wingate anaerobic tests in a counterbalanced order. Although ...

      Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a therapeutical approach based on exposure to pure oxygen in an augmented atmospheric pressure. Although it has been used for years, the exact kinetics of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) between different pressures of hyperbaric oxygen exposure are still not clearly evidenced. In this study, the metabolic responses of hyperbaric hyperoxia exposures for 1 h at ...
