These insights are based on the research of the Karolinska Institutet, Blekinge Institute of Technology, UC San Diego, and the Health & Sports Technology Initiative. Peter Lindholm & Oskar Franberg have conducted several experimental and validation studies regarding hyperoxia and its effects on elite athletes (1, 2, 3), and have also developed the Oxelerate device. Here are their key insights. 👇

For those who like a short text version of the authors' findings, here it is:

Did you know that acute hyperoxia (consuming more oxygen than normal) can lead to small performance increases?

This has been studied by researchers from Karolinska Institutet, Blekinge Institute of Technology, UC San Diego, and the Health & Sports Technology Initiative. They have conducted several experimental and validation studies regarding hyperoxia and its effects on elite athletes.

The result is a device that can be used in subsequent experiments and in the field. They also found that performance increases when air with extra oxygen is inhaled. Furthermore, training effects after the sessions could be amplified as well. Finally, the origin of the performance increase is not yet completely clear.

So...

Researchers and sports organizations can collaborate to improve performance and better understand the effects of hyperoxia on the human body by using this device. This will result in a better understanding and better performance of athletes.
