repeated oxygen breathing sessions raise antioxidant enzyme levels and reduce oxidative stress markers after exercise
Repeated MHOT sessions significantly elevated superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels while reducing malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, indicating enhanced antioxidant capacity and reduced lipid peroxidation following exercise-induced oxidative stress.
What this means for you
After hard workouts, your body produces oxidative byproducts that slow recovery and accelerate cellular wear. Elevated SOD — a key antioxidant enzyme — helps neutralize that damage, while lower MDA levels signal less stress on your cells. Over repeated sessions, this pattern supports faster bounce-back and longer-term resilience.
