Clinical Trial

Effects of Ozone Therapy on Muscle Damage

Completed
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of different ozone therapy methods in enhancing recovery after muscle-damaging exercise in healthy adults, and to evaluate their impact on biochemical markers of muscle damage and fatigue. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Do ozone-based interventions accelerate recovery by reducing biochemical markers of muscle damage and fatigue following eccentric exercise? * Which ozone therapy modality provides the greatest recovery benefit? Researchers will compare three intervention groups (autohemotherapy, ozone sauna therapy, and ozonated lavender oil massage) with a control group receiving no treatment. Participants will: * Complete a standardized eccentric exercise protocol designed to induce muscle damage * Receive one of the assigned interventions or no treatment (control) * Provide blood samples at multiple time points (baseline, post-exercise, post-intervention, and 24, 48, and 72 hours follow-up) to assess recovery- related biomarkers
