HBOT - Higher levels of ATP for strength & Endurance.

ATP is often referred to as the energy currency of life. ATP is an important question in sports training because all energy production is powered by this compound. Whether it’s during a 26-mile marathon run or one explosive movement like a tennis serve, skeletal muscle is powered by one and only one compound - Adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The training programs you design for your athletes will target their ability to produce energy for power and endurance.

The body’s cells use a special form of energy called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to power almost all their activities, such as muscle contraction, protein construction, transportation of substrates, communication with other cells, activating heat control mechanisms, and dismantling damaged and unused structures.

There are essentially two mechanisms for producing ATP, the aerobic and anaerobic pathways. 'Aerobic' means literally with oxygen, while 'anaerobic' means without oxygen.

As long as there is a continual supply of fuel (eg. fats and carbohydrates stored in the body) and most essentially oxygen, aerobic activities can continue for long periods.

The rate that ATP is supplied by the aerobic processes is relatively slow, and therefore the rate of work output is also slow. For more explosive movements, such as sprinting or heavy workouts in a gym, ATP is required at a faster rate, hence the supply of oxygen to the tissue is vital

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy supplies the oxygen at a much higher rate to the cells to produce ATP for athletes to build up the energy required to train harder,  longer and increases endurance.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy a perfect performance enhancement tool for competing athletes or fitness enthusiast.

A short technical explanation:

An ATP molecule consists of adenosine and three (tri) inorganic phosphate groups. When a molecule of ATP is combined with water (a process called hydrolysis), the last phosphate group splits away and releases energy. The molecule of adenosine triphosphate now becomes adenosine diphosphate or ADP.

When an enzyme breaks off the third phosphate group from the second phosphate group the energy is released so the cell can use it. When this happens the ATP becomes an energy deficient adenosine diphosphate (ADP). That is, there are only two phosphate groups bonded in sequence rather than three.

In order to reattach the third phosphate group back onto the second phosphate group (in the process converting the energy deficient ADP back into high energy ATP) a fuel source containing energy is needed. This fuel source comes from the oxygen oxygen supply to the cells in muscle tissues. If this occurs in the presence of oxygen it is called as aerobic metabolism.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a vital tool in supplying greater amount of oxygen in generating the ATP required for demanding athletes & fitness enthusiasts.
