Abstract

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy might be used to provide a means of therapy to help a speedier resumption to exercise-induced fatigue. In this study, forty SD rats were selected and randomly divided into four groups: control group, exercise-induced fatigue model group (fatigue group), hyperbaric oxygen therapy group (hyperoxia group) and hyperbaric oxygen pretreatment group before exercise (intervention group). The blood physiological and biochemical traits of the experiment rats were investigated . The results indicated that compared to the control group, the rats in fatigue group grew significantly slow (P<0.01), while the intervention group and hyperoxia group had no significant difference in body weight, and compared with the control group, the white cell count, red blood cells count, hemoglobin, total superoxide dismutase (SOD) content of fatigue group, hyperoxia group and the intervention group decreased significantly (P<0.01), and compared with fatigue group, the mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin content, SOD content of hyperoxia group and intervention group showed an increasing trend, while red blood cell count, hemoglobin and platelet count had a downward trend. It concluded that the hyperbaric oxygen could help to relieve fatigue and protect the growth and development of body and protect blood cells from the damage of exercise-induced fatigue, and improve immunity.
