The magnitude of change following HA was analyzed, with time to exhaustion demonstrating the largest performance enhancement (ES [95% CI], 0.86 [0.71, 1.01]), followed by time trial (0.49 [0.26, 0.71]), mean power (0.37 [0.05, 0.68]), VO(2max) (0.30 [0.07, 0.53]), and peak power (0.29 [0.09, 0.48]) (p < 0.05). …”

“…Standardized mean difference will be calculated, and possible publication bias will be tested using funnel plots and Egger test. A priori defined subgroup or meta-regression analyses will be performed for treatment quality, allegiance, type of nonactive control, study quality, type of subapproach, and target population (children and adolescents or adults). …”

Sixty-five (32.5%) patients had an initial ScvO(2) level in between 70 and 89%, categorized as normoxic group, and the remaining 31 (15.5%) patients had high ScvO(2), leveled as the hyperoxic group. …”
