What does the research say about medical ozone and athletic performance?
Published studies continue to explore the potential role of medical ozone in supporting athletic performance, recovery and rehabilitation.
📚 Study 1: Doping that is not a Doping: Effects of Ozone Therapy in Sports found that athletes receiving medical ozone alongside their training programme demonstrated improvements in VO₂ max and maximum running performance, suggesting a potential benefit for exercise capacity and recovery.
📚 Study 2: Medical Ozone on Hamstring Injury in a Professional Athlete highlighted how medical ozone formed part of the management of a professional athlete recovering from a hamstring injury, supporting rehabilitation and return to performance.
At Ozone Healing Centre Cape Town, we use HOCATT Transdermal Ozone Therapy as part of personalised athlete-support programmes, tailoring every treatment protocol to the individual’s sport, training demands and wellness goals.
