The role that oxygen plays in material metabolism and energy metabolism is crucial. After long-term strenuous exercise, oxygen demand will increase with the increase of oxygen consumption of the body, at this time the body is forced to carry out anaerobic respiration, a large number of acidic metabolites such as lactic acid that are easy to cause fatigue will accumulate in muscles and blood, hemoglobin, blood oxygen saturation serum and other related blood indicators in the body will change, thus leading to a decline in the body's physiological function, a decrease in the level of motor function, thus causing the occurrence of exercise fatigue.
氧气在物质代谢和能量代谢中的作用至关重要。经过长期剧烈运动后,需氧量会随着机体耗氧量的增加而增加,此时机体被迫进行无氧呼吸,大量容易引起疲劳的酸性代谢物如乳酸等会积聚在肌肉和血液中,血红蛋白、血氧饱和度、血清等相关血液指标在体内会发生变化, 从而导致机体生理功能下降,运动功能水平下降,从而引起运动疲劳的发生。

The speed of lactate clearance after exercise is an important indicator of the body's recovery. Understanding the changes of lactic acid after exercise has a guiding effect on athletes' physical recovery. After strenuous exercise, pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid under the catalysis of lactate dehydrogenase. Lactic acid is an acidic metabolite whose concentration increases to cause a decrease in the body's pH level. This will lead to an imbalance of electrolytes in the body, which will affect the contraction function of muscles, inhibit the binding of oxygen and hemoglobin, resulting in a decrease in the energy obtained by the body, and a decrease in the body's working capacity, thereby causing muscle fatigue.
运动后乳酸清除的速度是身体恢复的重要指标。了解运动后乳酸的变化对运动员的身体恢复具有指导作用。剧烈运动后,丙酮酸在乳酸脱氢酶的催化下还原为乳酸。乳酸是一种酸性代谢物,其浓度增加会导致人体 pH 值降低。这会导致体内电解质失衡,影响肌肉的收缩功能,抑制氧气和血红蛋白的结合,导致身体获得的能量减少,身体的工作能力下降,从而引起肌肉疲劳。
The oxygen consumed by the human body for exercise is mainly the oxygen carried by hemoglobin. Clinically, blood oxygen saturation is generally used to reflect the change of oxygen content in the blood, that is, in the total blood volume, the bound oxygen volume accounts for the percentage change of the total bound oxygen volume. Blood oxygen saturation is an important indicator reflecting the degree of oxygen supply and supply of the body, so inhalation of hyperbaric oxygen can alleviate the relative degree of hypoxia, enhance the reversible combination of hemoglobin and oxygen, promote the body's recovery of blood oxygen saturation, improve the ability of blood to carry oxygen, thereby accelerating physical recovery, and quickly eliminating fatigue of the body after a large number of exercises.
人体运动消耗的氧气主要是血红蛋白携带的氧气。临床上,血氧饱和度一般用来反映血液中氧含量的变化,即在总血容量中,结合氧量占总结合氧量的百分比变化。血氧饱和度是反映机体供氧供给程度的重要指标,因此吸入高压氧可以缓解相对缺氧程度,增强血红蛋白与氧气的可逆结合,促进机体血氧饱和度的恢复,提高血液携带氧气的能力,从而加速身体恢复, 并迅速消除大量运动后的身体疲劳。

At the same time, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can stimulate the body to produce more antioxidant enzymes in the state of ischemia and hypoxia to accelerate the removal of free radicals, thereby effectively preventing the damage of free radicals to tissue cells and eliminating fatigue. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy also has a good effect on the treatment of post-exercise injury, which can provide an increase in the amount of dissolved oxygen plasma, improve oxygen delivery and tissue survival in ischemic areas, promote the recovery of damaged cells, and eliminate exercise fatigue
同时,高压氧治疗可以刺激机体在缺血缺氧状态下产生更多的抗氧化酶,加速自由基的清除,从而有效防止自由基对组织细胞的损害,消除疲劳。此外,高压氧治疗对运动后损伤的治疗也有很好的效果,可以增加溶解氧血浆的量,改善缺血部位的氧气输送和组织存活,促进受损细胞的恢复,消除运动疲劳
