oxygen breathing raises capillary perfusion index, supporting blood flow during fatigue recovery
Repeated MHOT sessions significantly elevated the capillary perfusion index (PI%), indicating enhanced local blood flow and tissue perfusion during fatigue recovery.
What this means for you
A higher perfusion index means more blood is reaching your tissues at the capillary level — the tiny vessels where oxygen and nutrients are actually delivered to cells. For people dealing with fatigue or post-exertion heaviness, better local blood flow is one of the key ways the body clears waste products and restores energy.
