Why combine exercise with oxygen instead of simply sitting and breathing oxygen?
During exercise, your muscles demand more oxygen, your heart pumps more blood, and circulation increases throughout the body. Exercise With Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) combines that increased demand with oxygen-enriched air while your body is actively working.
Research on supplemental oxygen during exercise has shown improvements in exercise tolerance and muscle oxygenation in certain settings, which may help some people exercise longer or at a greater workload.
The bigger goal isn't simply breathing more oxygen—it's improving your ability to exercise and build the endurance, stamina, and cardiovascular fitness you use in everyday life.
For adults focused on healthy aging and staying independent, that can mean working toward having the capacity to walk hills, climb stairs, travel, garden, work around the house, and keep doing the activities you enjoy.
Discover how EWOT (Exercising With Oxygen Therapy), oxygen-enriched workouts, and improved VO₂ max can boost endurance, exercise tolerance, and support healthy aging.
