High-oxygen environment and muscle strength in active adults
This study tests whether exercising in a high-oxygen environment can help build stronger muscles faster. Researchers will have you do resistance training (like weightlifting) in a special chamber with extra oxygen to see if it boosts your muscle gains.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are healthy with no serious medical conditions
- You are between 18 and 45 years old

This study compares two ways of training the body for better aerobic fitness: short, controlled low-oxygen workouts versus treatment in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. It may help athletes improve endurance, measured by their breathing and fitness performance.
This trial is testing whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (called hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can improve your fitness and lower inflammation. You may qualify if you’re a healthy, active adult aged 30–60.
This study looks at data from healthy people who completed 60 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (a treatment where you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber). The goal is to see if HBOT has any effect on how well the heart, lungs, and brain work, by comparing test results before and after treatment.
This study tests how breathing higher-than-normal levels of oxygen for a short time after a hard bike ride affects your recovery. It is designed for competitive road cyclists who want to recover faster and perform better in their next training or race.
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help top-level sailors recover faster from the tiredness caused by intense training. If the therapy works, it could become a new way to help athletes bounce back quicker and perform better.
This study looks at how the force of your muscle contractions at different lengths affects muscle growth and strength. You will do leg exercises on a special machine to see how your muscles respond.
