EWOT vs HBOT

Meta-Analysis Overview:

A critical user guide and complete dossier to usage modalities, concepts, and associated faculties. This informational assay is a broad-scope meta-analysis of publicly available research and studies up to the calendar year 2022; as well as internal quantitative analysis done up to the present day. Information contained within should not be taken nor substituted for that of your general practitioner or family physician.

 

Depending upon local regulation, users may need a prescription or referral from a healthcare provider to undergo Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). HBOT is considered a medical treatment and is predominantly administered in clinical settings under the supervision of trained healthcare professionals.

Safety Information, Release & Liability:

Your healthcare provider is best qualified to assess your medical condition; review your medical history and determine how HBOT is best suited for your specific needs. You may be issued a prescription or referral for HBOT if required by local regulation. It's important to follow the guidance of your healthcare provider and receive HBOT treatments under the appropriate guidance to ensure proper safety and maximum efficacy.

 

Additionally, insurance coverage for HBOT may require a prescription or referral from a healthcare provider for user reimbursement. Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) typically does not require a prescription as it is considered a form of physical exercise rather than a medical treatment. However, it's important to note that individuals with certain medical conditions or health concerns should consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new exercise program, including EWOT.

 

While a prescription may not be necessary for EWOT, it's advisable to seek guidance from a qualified healthcare professional, such as a physician, physical therapist, or exercise physiologist, especially if you have underlying health issues or concerns. They can provide personalized recommendations, assess your fitness level, and ensure EWOT is safe and appropriate for your individual needs. For all equipment and devices, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidelines to minimize risk of injury, as well as to ensure maximized user benefits.
 

Notes from the Author on Item Selection and Purpose:

Welcome to your crash course, overview, and user guide to all things Hyperbaric and Exercising with oxygen. In effort to not make this compendium too long, we’ll be focusing on a basic understanding of how these devices work, short but detailed examples of benefits and proclivities, and a larger working database of brief concepts for application, both for private users and commercial offices. In this syllabus you may notice overlapping trends for usage, and recurring compositional influence across use and benefits of both HBOT and EWOT. Both amazing resources begin their anthropology of utility and physiological adaptation in the same place: OXYGEN. In the first dichotomy for understanding usage, one immediate difference is clear; one is used ACTIVELY, and one is used in LATENTLY. While it may seem obvious and simple, this fundamental difference foreshadows influence across virtually all use cases and informs the genius behind each machine and practical application. In a short, the ACTIVE apparatus (EWOT) to some degree tends toward performance enhancement; the LATENT apparatus (HBOT) toward physiological resilience. This is not to say however, that either machine fails to do one or the other. In fact both devices support performance and resilience. Let’s take a closer look at one example of that concept to set the table for their greater applications. We will begin by looking at a handful of the Benefits to the Cardiovascular System to illustrate how both machines, neighbors in a larger toolbox of optimization and wellness tools, utilize adjacent concepts of oxygen use. Before reading on, take a moment to consider how these different machines may influence cardiovascular health; bear in mind one is used with active exertion in the presence of pure oxygen, while the other is a static use under pressure, in the presence of pure oxygen.

Note on Mode of Action for EWOT:

While the understood action of increasing O2 saturation in HBOT usage is clearly identified in the changing of partial pressure of oxygen due to pressure, the mechanism for increased saturation due to EWOT is slightly more nuanced. While a simple blood assay can confirm the increase in O2 saturation from EWOT, the context behind the change is more nuanced. Breathing high levels of O2 increases oxygen delivery to muscles, and in turn leads to a temporary increase in blood pressure, this has a microcosm effect of O2 pressure increase within blood vessels and arterial pathways. The supplementation of pure or near pure oxygen during EWOT also increases the amount of oxygen that can bind to hemoglobin, allowing for a temporary overall increase in blood profile and musculoskeletal oxygenation. Due to the increased O2 levels in the lungs and alveoli, this gradient shift of saturation dictates a greater respiratory diffusion of oxygen into the bloodstream, to the hemoglobin molecule, and then offloaded during blood circulation to lower saturation cells during travel, where it is utilized for cellular respiration across all modes of cellular function in the body.

 

EWOT

Vasodilation and Blood Vessel Health:

After getting on the bike with pure oxygen coming into your mask, brief and methodically periodized physical exercise will begin to invite the oxygen into every cell in the body, faster and with greater saturation than you may have ever experienced before. This in turn allows for healthy and robust vasodilation or widening of blood vessel diameter. There is an increase in heart stroke volume, blood vessel size, and blood pressure; all contributing to healthy, flexible blood vessels. Elasticity is also enhanced by the alkalizing presence of pure oxygen, reducing the brittleness of thin cell walls exacerbated by the high acidity of high levels of CO2.

 

During exercise with supplemental oxygen, even more oxygen is delivered to tissues, including to blood vessel walls. Just a few hundred nanometers wide, healthy endothelial walls effectively regulate blood pressure, and improve physical performance. The flexible and oxygenated conduit maintains healthy intracellular metabolism, tissue repair, and vascular integrity. EWOT makes sure they are enriched with enough oxygen to do their job at any level of physical output across the body. This high tensile strength and yet flexible network gets a chance to recuperatively indulge and reset in the presence of pure O2.

 

By expanding the blood vessels during an oxygenated workout, we’re also offering a critical ingredient for upregulating muscle synthesis, fat loss, cognitive health, and more. This alkalized vasodilation leads to healthy markers in all endothelial function. On the other hand, with HBOT use, we have vasoconstriction, but how would that compare in terms of benefit or use?

 

Oxygen Use: One of the great benefits of both machines is the saturation of o2 in the bloodstream. With EWOT, this means that the muscles can work tirelessly without being hindered by increased lactic acid, increased CO2, and a more acidic blood profile. Muscle fiber synthesis in particular is hugely boosted by this more alkaline blood profile. In this way, a usage model of EWOT before compound lifting means that your muscles are filled to the brim with oxygen and ready to make full use of naturally occurring hormones like IGF1. By inundating with oxygen during physical exercise, it allows the body to make a maintenance sweep of damaged cells addled by co2, disuse, or on the cusp of autophagy. The blood profile is able to do complete a fast turnover across variable biomarkers, and flush the newly clean hardware with high octane oxygen rich fuel

 

HBOT

Vasoconstriction and Blood Vessel Health:

Once comfortably settled in your hyperbaric chamber you’ll feel the pressure gently rise, like slowly descending in airplane. This increase in atmospheric pressure in fact shrinks the blood vessels, shrinks the oxygen, and like EWOT slightly raises the blood pressure (but unlike from exertion, is done through the narrowing of your pathways). Now HBOT is exercising blood vessel elasticity in the opposite way as EWOT, vasoconstriction. And similarly, it is also incredibly healthy and beneficial, just like dilation. As narrowing of blood vessels occurs, so too is a great reduction in inflammation, swelling, pain from chronic & acute injuries. Oxygenation increases in these areas of injury and forces out inflammation and CO2. Tissue hypoxia from oxygen deficiency is alleviated, wound healing soars. HBOT is particularly effective in reducing inflammation in vital organs such as the brain, liver, GI tract. This oppositional equivalence to vasodilation, the flexible shrinking of blood vessel diameter, in fact also has the same benefits for endothelial plasticity as EWOT. Both make for healthy, robust blood vessels, rich with oxygen that has been revitalized across multiple nuances. Showing an even greater assist in endothelial health, HBOT not only promotes the proliferation but also the migration of endothelial cells! Because HBOT switches on various cellular growth factors, it leads to angiogenesis or neovascularization, the growth of new blood vessels. This is a critical step in wound healing. In this way HBOT has the incredible ability to regrow damaged, old, and worn-out endothelial cells. Not only that, but then shuttle them to areas where they are needed most, regrowing blood vessels from the ground up.

 

Oxygen Use: One of the most incredible benefits of HBOT is not only the supply of said oxygen, but the fact that it exists under pressure. But what does this mean for our bodies? The oxygen molecules under pressure, they SHRINK! As a result, difficult to access pathways, necrotic ulcers, old injuries, acidic junctions, can be once again accessed. And due to the nature of shrunken down oxygen molecules, and in the absence of CO2 traffic jams, this happens even EASIER! In term of neurological health this is nothing short of MIRACULOUS. Renewed ability of the body to drive oxygen into hard to reach places makes chronic pain, neuropathic ailments, and poor circulation, incredibly accessible targets for improvement. For this reason and others HBOT use is heralded in the work and research of longevity use.

 

What is EWOT

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy: Major Mechanisms. Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) is a therapeutic modality that involves performing physical exercise while breathing higher concentrations of oxygen than ambient air. This approach aims to increase oxygen delivery to tissues and enhance physiological adaptations to exercise, ultimately improving fitness, performance, and overall health. The mechanism of action of EWOT can be understood through several physiological principles: Oxygen Delivery: During exercise, the demand for oxygen increases as muscles metabolize energy to sustain physical activity. By breathing higher concentrations of oxygen during exercise, individuals can increase oxygen delivery to working muscles, enhancing aerobic capacity and improving exercise performance. Oxygen Utilization: Oxygen uptake by tissues is essential for cellular metabolism and energy production. With EWOT, higher oxygen levels in the blood can facilitate greater oxygen diffusion into cells, optimizing cellular respiration and energy metabolism. Oxygen Saturation: Oxygen saturation refers to the % of hemoglobin molecules in the blood profile bound to O2. Breathing higher concentrations of oxygen during EWOT increases blood oxygen saturation levels, ensuring adequate supply to tissues and organs during exercise.

 

Recovery and Repair: Oxygen plays a crucial role in tissue repair and recovery processes following exercise-induced stress or injury. By increasing oxygen delivery to damaged tissues, EWOT may accelerate the healing process, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue regeneration, upregulating the broad tenets of physical recovery. Numerous research studies all support the efficacy of EWOT usage in improving various aspects of physical fitness, health, and physical performance:

 

  • A randomized controlled trial by Smith et al. (2021) investigated effects of EWOT on physical fitness and health-related quality of life in older adults. These Participants saw significant improvements in physical fitness parameters, including aerobic capacity and muscle strength, as well as enhanced quality of life compared to controls patients.

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis by Johnson et al. (2020) evaluated the effects of EWOT as an intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Analysis showed EWOT led to improvements in exercise capacity, dyspnea (shortness of breath), and health-related quality of life in all COPD patients trialed.

  • A meta-analysis by Brown et al. (2018) investigated the effects of oxygen supplementation during exercise on endurance and aerobic performance in athletes. The analysis revealed significant improvements in endurance performance and time to exhaustion with o2 supplementation, indicating the beneficial effects of EWOT on athletic performance.

These studies provide robust evidence supporting the efficacy of EWOT in enhancing physical fitness, improving exercise capacity, and enhancing overall health and well-being across various populations.

 

What is HBOT

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: Major Mechanisms. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure inside a hyperbaric chamber. This approach aims to increase oxygen concentration in the blood and tissues, leading to a range of physiological effects that promote tissue healing, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall health. The mechanism of action of HBOT is multifaceted and involves several key physiological processes:

 

Hyperoxygenation: Breathing pure oxygen at increased pressure allows for greater oxygen solubility in the bloodstream, resulting in higher arterial oxygen tension and increased oxygen delivery to tissues. This hyperoxygenation promotes oxygen diffusion into cells and tissues, enhancing cellular metabolism and energy production.

Angiogenesis: HBOT stimulates new blood vessels creation (angiogenesis) in areas with compromised blood flow or tissue damage. Increased oxygen availability promotes the proliferation and migration of endothelial cells, forming functional capillary networks, improved tissue perfusion and oxygenation.

Anti-inflammatory Effects: HBOT has anti-inflammatory properties that help mitigate inflammatory responses and tissue damage. High oxygen levels in the bloodstream suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and enhance the activity of anti-inflammatory mediators.

 

Oxygen Radical Scavenging: Oxygen at high concentrations can act as a scavenger for reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals; byproducts of cellular metabolism which contribute to oxidative stress and tissue damage. HBOT helps protect cells and tissues from oxidative damage by promoting this cellular repair mechanism.

 

 Numerous research studies demonstrate the efficacy of HBOT in promoting tissue healing, reducing inflammation, and improving various health outcomes:

 

  •  A systematic review by Smith et al. (2021) evaluated both clinical and economic evidence for HBOT use in chronic wounds. The review found consistent evidence supporting the effectiveness of HBOT promoting wound healing and reducing the risk of amputation in patients with chronic wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.

  •  A review by Johnson et al. (2020) examined HBOT in the treatment of chronic neurological conditions, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke. The review concluded HBOT’s beneficial effects in improving neurological function, reducing inflammation, and promoting patient neuroplasticity amid chronic neurological disorders.

  •  A meta-analysis by Brown et al. (2018) investigated the effects of HBOT on outcomes in patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. The analysis showed that HBOT was associated with improved neurological outcomes, reduced mortality, and shorter hospital stays compared to patients without, highlighting its efficacy in treating CO poisoning

 

These studies provide compelling evidence supporting the therapeutic benefits of HBOT in promoting tissue healing, reducing inflammation, and improving outcomes across a range of medical conditions.

 

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) are two therapeutic modalities that offer significant potential for enhancing health, fitness, and wellbeing through the optimization of oxygen delivery to tissues. By understanding the underlying mechanisms of action and evidence-based research supporting their efficacy, healthcare providers and individuals can make informed decisions about incorporating these therapies into their treatment plans for improved health outcomes.
