This study aimed to identify the effects and the mechanisms of normobaric hyperoxia on recovery of local muscle fatigue. Twelve male subjects performed intermittent intense exercise at 70% of maximum voluntary isometric contraction separated by two 15-minutes recovery sessions under one of two different oxygen conditions, one in normoxia (NOX; 20.9% oxygen) and one in hyperoxia (HOX; 30.0% oxygen). This study revealed that maximum force output improved an average by 14% at the end of recovery sessions in HOX than NOX.
