The Effect of Ozone Therapy on the Athletes

Abstract

Today, ozone therapy, which is used as an alternative method in the treatment of many diseases, also helps healthy people to improve their performances and rejuvenate the body. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of ozone therapy on the performance and health of athletes with oxygen-ozone mixture and major autohemotherapy method. It is thought that the results to be obtained will contribute to increase the performances of the active sportsmen and contribute to the possible work to be done. Ozone therapy can be summarized as the application of a certain amount of ozone / oxygen mixture to body cavities or circulatory system. The ozone / oxygen gas mixture may be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, intraarticularly, intrapleurally, intrarectally and intradiscally as well as topically. The most common form of ozone administration is the major autohemotherapy.

Ozon Terapinin Sporcularda Etkisi

Öz

Günümüzde birçok hastalığın tedavisinde alternatif yöntem olarak kullanılan ozon terapisi, aynı zamanda sağlıklı insanların performanslarını artırmaya ve vücudu gençleştirmeye de yaramaktadır. Bu araştırmada oksijen-ozon karışımı ile majör otohemoterapi yöntemi ile ozon terapinin sporcu performansına ve sağlığına olan etkisinin yapılan çalışmalarla araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Elde edilecek sonuçların aktif spor yapan sporcuların performanslarının artırılmasına yönelik fayda sağlayacağı ve yapılması muhtemel çalışmalara katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Ozon terapi belirli bir miktarda ozon/oksijen karışımının vücut boşluklarına ya da dolaşım sistemine uygulanması olarak özetlenebilir. Ozon/oksijen gaz karışımı intravenöz, intramuskuler, intraartiküler, intraplevral, intrarektal ve intradiskal uygulanabildiği gibi topikal de uygulanabilir. En yaygın ozon uygulanma şekli majör otohemoterapidir.
