Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The main questions this study will aim to answer are:
Will a single session of HBOT improve recovery parameters such as biochemical markers and physical fitness in elite youth football players after a football match? Will a single session of HBOT enhance the performance of elite youth football players after a football match?
Participants in this study will include twenty elite youth male football players. They will be randomly assigned to either the HBOT group or the control group. All participants will undergo evaluations for biochemical parameters, physical fitness tests, and the Hooper Index (HI) at multiple time points: before the match, at the end of the match, one hour after the HBOT session, and 12 hours after the HBOT session.
In the HBOT group, participants will receive 100% oxygen under elevated pressure in a hyperbaric chamber for a duration of 70 minutes immediately after the football match. Meanwhile, the control group will be exposed to normal atmospheric pressure.
Biochemical analysis will involve collecting blood samples to measure markers such as myoglobin, creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. Physical fitness tests will include vertical jump height measurements (squat jump, countermovement jump, and countermovement jump with arm swing) and linear speed assessments at various distances (5 m, 10 m, and 20 m). The Hooper Index (HI) will be used for subjective assessment of fatigue and well-being.
This study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of HBOT as a recovery strategy for elite youth football players and its impact on performance in the future.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
HBOT group
HBOT group
The HBOT will be performed in a Barox HBOT chamber (Yaklasim Makina San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Sti). Participants will be taken to the chamber immediately after the football match, where they will sit in individual chairs, and oxygen will be delivered through individual masks. The HBOT group will be exposed to 100% oxygen at 2.2 ATA (atmospheres absolute). Session will last 70 minutes.
CON group
CON group
The placebo protocols will be performed in a Barox HBOT chamber (Yaklasim Makina San. Ve Tic. Ltd. Sti). Participants will be taken to the chamber immediately after the football match, where they will sit in individual chairs, and oxygen will be delivered through individual masks. The CON group will be exposed to normobaric ambient pressure (1 ATA). The session will last 70 minutes.
