Abstract
Purpose: To perform a literature review on hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy as a treatment forexercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Methods: PubMed, Web of Science and Google Scholar were searched for articles related to HBO2 therapy as a treatment for exercise-induced muscle damage. Inclusion criteria included HBO2 therapy as the primary intervention to treat EIMD. Articles used in this review ranged from 1995-2021. Conclusion: Current literature on the effectiveness of HBO2 therapy to treat EIMD is mixed. Early and frequent treatments seem to be important factors when it comes to the success of HBO2 therapy. Additional research is needed to determine if HBO2 therapy has potential to treat more severe forms of EIMD and the role HBO2 therapy has on inflammation and satellite cell function after EIMD.
