EWOT (Exercise with Oxygen Therapy)
There is some evidence to suggest that exercise with supplemental oxygen may be beneficial for patients with acute and chronic illnesses such as diabetes or cancer.
However, it’s important to note that the benefits and risks may vary depending on the individual’s health status, the type and stage of their illness, and other factors. Here are some potential benefits of exercise with supplemental oxygen for these patient populations:
Improved Exercise Tolerance
Patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or cancer may experience fatigue or shortness of breath during exercise. Supplemental oxygen may improve exercise tolerance, allowing patients to engage in physical activity for longer periods of time.
Enhanced Recovery
Exercise with supplemental oxygen may help to improve recovery time after exercise, allowing patients to engage in physical activity more frequently and potentially improve their overall health.
Improved Glycemic Control
Exercise with supplemental oxygen has been shown to improve glucose control in patients with diabetes, which can help to prevent complications such as neuropathy, retinopathy, and cardiovascular disease.
Reduced Inflammation
Exercise with supplemental oxygen may also help to reduce inflammation, which is associated with a number of chronic illnesses including cancer.
Increased Quality of Life
Regular exercise with supplemental oxygen may improve overall quality of life for patients with chronic illnesses, including physical function, mental health, and social well-being.
Summarized
Supplemental oxygen during exercise can improve oxygen delivery to muscles and tissues, leading to better performance, endurance, and recovery. It can also reduce fatigue and the risk of low oxygen levels during exercise at high altitudes. For patients with chronic illnesses like diabetes or cancer, exercise with supplemental oxygen may improve exercise tolerance, recovery time, glucose control, and reduce inflammation, ultimately improving their quality of life. However, the benefits and risks may vary depending on the individual’s health status and type and stage of illness.
