Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) in Albuquerque, NM
Oxygen-Enhanced Training for Performance and Recovery
EWOT, or Exercise With Oxygen Therapy, is a form of hyperoxic training where patients breathe elevated levels of oxygen while exercising, increasing the oxygen available to cells and supporting mitochondrial function during physical activity. Dr. Jay uses this oxygen training therapy to support athletic performance, recovery, and overall health as part of an individualized regenerative medicine plan, most often for athletes, patients managing chronic conditions, and those focused on preventive health.
What Is EWOT?
EWOT combines exercise with supplemental oxygen intake to increase the oxygen available to cells during physical activity. The approach originated from Manfred von Ardenne’s 1960s research, initially called “Oxygen Multistep Therapy.” Von Ardenne theorized that the normal aging process causes capillaries to swell and restrict oxygen supply to downstream tissue, and that breathing supplemental oxygen during exercise could enhance microcirculation and oxygen absorption, similar to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), supporting anti-inflammatory effects and better tissue oxygenation. Unlike HBOT, which is passive and uses pressure to deliver oxygen to tissues for 60 to 90 minutes, EWOT combines oxygen with active exercise in a session lasting about 15 minutes.
What Are the Benefits of EWOT?
- Improves performance and speeds recovery for athletes
