Influence of Ozone Treatment in Sportsmedcine
J. Jakl
Summary:
According to the well known effects of ozone treatment and its
influence on fatty acids in the eryrtocytic membrane as well as in
2,3 DPG, we took interest in possible effects in endurance tests. 30
sports students had to undertake bicycle ergometrics as vita maxima
tests.
Aerobic and anaerobic threshold, heartrate O2 utilisation and
lactatkinetic were compared before and after different ozone
treatments such as intramuscular application, IV O3 blood treatment
and rectal insufflation.
Especially in the IV blood treatment and in the rectal insufflation
group aerobic performance was improved, when no influence on anerobic
workout in lactatc concentrations over 4 mmol/l showed up.
Those effects and the relative economisation in aerobic training
seems to base on ozone effects in intracellular metabolism as well as
a better utilisation of free fatty acids.
Especially endurance sports and athletes who need a high level of O2
turn over could probably take some profit of ozone treatment without
side effects that could occur with other therapies. In general it
showed up, that the positive influence in very well trained person
was less then in those who had lower endurance levels. That probably
depends on the just optimized intracellular metabolism which develops
after several years of training.
