Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) - An In-Depth Guide
What is Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT)?
Exercise with Oxygen Therapy is the practice of breathing higher concentrations of oxygen (93% or higher) while exercising. This approach is also known as Oxygen Enhanced Exercise or Exercise with Oxygen Training.
The process is simple:
It involves an EWOT System, which consists of an Oxygen Reservoir Bag filled with oxygen from an Oxygen Concentrator and a specialized mask attached to the bag. All you have to do is wear the mask and engage in your daily workout routine.
With the EWOT System, you inhale 4 times more oxygen than in the ambient air while working out and this increases the level of oxygen in your cells, tissues, muscles and blood plasma, potentially improving your energy, endurance and athletic performance, reducing inflammation, promoting detoxification, offering anti-aging benefits and much more.
Take your wellness journey to new heights by reaping the benefits of exercise–oxygen combo.
Why EWOT?
Anti-aging benefits: EWOT counteracts age-related oxygen decline, enhancing tissue oxygenation (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6475110/)
Anti-inflammatory Benefits: EWOT helps you fight many degenerative diseases, improves your immune system function and repairs damaged tissues. (Source: Anti-Inflammatory Oxygen Therapy by Dr. Mark Sircus)
Performance Benefits: EWOT offers performance enhancement by improving your endurance, power, mental performance and VO2 max and reducing recovery time and lactic acid build-up.

EWOT vs. HBOT
Aspect | HBOT | EWOT | |
---|---|---|---|
Passiveness vs. Activity | Intrinsically passive, with the person lying down in a pressurized chamber for 90 minutes without any activity. | Relies on exercise as the key to enhancing oxygen intake and absorption. | |
Constant Pressure vs. Partial Pressure | Uses high pressure in chambers to improve oxygen absorption. | Utilizes the combination of high oxygen supply to the bloodstream and the partial pressure of exercise to drive oxygen into the system. | |
Time Efficiency | Takes a longer time to oxygenate tissues due to dependence on pressure for oxygen delivery. | Allows the body to absorb more oxygen in a shorter time to support limb and muscle movement. | |
Cost Efficiency | Comparatively more expensive due to lower time efficiency and higher operational cost of hyperbaric chambers. | Cost is substantially lower as it uses a more simple, practical system comprising an oxygen machine, bag, and mask. |
