Key result
Supervised exercise training with supplemental oxygen did not improve physical fitness or well-being compared to normoxia in patients with chronic diseases (SMD -0.10; 95% CI -0.27, 0.08; p=0.26).
Why the study?
It was unclear which chronic diseases exercise with supplemental oxygen has been used for and whether it improves physical fitness and well-being.
Does supervised exercise training with supplemental oxygen improve markers of physical fitness and patient-reported outcomes on well-being in adult patients with chronic diseases compared to normoxia?
Systematic Review
Does supervised exercise training with supplemental oxygen improve markers of physical fitness and patient-reported outcomes on well-being in adult patients with chronic diseases compared to normoxia?
Effect estimate: SMD -0.10 (95% CI -0.27, 0.08)
p-value: p=0.26
Supervised exercise training with supplemental oxygen does not yield superior long-term adaptations in physical fitness or well-being compared to normoxia in patients with chronic diseases.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Does not support supplemental oxygen during supervised exercise in chronic disease; confirms no benefit over normoxia for fitness or well-being.
Freitag et al. (2020) conducted a systematic review in Chronic diseases (mainly COPD). Supervised exercise training with supplemental oxygen vs. Normoxia was evaluated on Markers of physical fitness and patient-reported outcomes on well-being (SMD -0.10, 95% CI -0.27, 0.08, p=0.26). Supervised exercise training with supplemental oxygen did not improve physical fitness or well-being compared to normoxia in patients with chronic diseases (SMD -0.10; 95% CI -0.27, 0.08; p=0.26).
