About this trial

comparing the effect of hyperoxygenated environment on maximal muscle strength in the Mid-thigh Pull Task

Ages 18-45

Participants are physically active and have a recent resistance-training experience of at least six months, ≥ 3 times a week

Participant willing and able to read, understand and sign an informed consent

Disqualifiers

Inability to attend scheduled clinic visits or comply with the study protocol

Trial design

Design model

Crossover

Treatments tested in this trial

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy - HBOT
Device
The HYPEROXYGENATED ENVIRONMENT protocol will include a single exposure to hyperoxic environment. The session will last 60 minutes, of 100% oxygen inhalation by mask at 2 ATA
Sham
Device
The Sham protocol will include a single session of breathing 21% oxygen by mask while in the same multi-place chamber. SHAM pressure will go up to 1.2 ATA during the first five minutes of the session (to simulate the pressure sensation in the ears), and then decrease during the next 5 minutes to 1.03 ATA for 55 minutes

Treatment groups

48 Participants

are divided into 2 treatment groups

Group A: Hyperoxygenation active treatmentActive comparator 1 intervention

Group B: ShamSham comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

Maximal static muscle force production

Participants will perform the isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) test using an analog dynamometer that will be purchased for the purpose of the study

Time frame

Baseline evaluation, IMPT test in HBOT chamber, Approximately 4 weeks after the first visit, participants will be exposed to the opposite intervention - HOE or SHAM - and will undergo the same isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP) test in the chamber.
