The results demonstrate that breathing supplemental gas can result in significant improvement in duration of maximal power output and time to complete activity.

“Results.. while training at moderate altitude, breathing hyperoxic gas vs. ambient air allows for higher training intensities and this higher intensity training results in significant improvements in maximal steady state power output and time to complete a 120 kJ performance test.”
