Question 11

hyperbaric chambers

Answer 11

chamber has 100% pure oxgen rather then normal 21%
llows perofmer to breath in more oxygen
aincrease in pressure also increases pressure gradient
both ncrease inHB 02 saturation and pressure, means oxgen able to penetrate through restricted blood vessels to injured areas
REDUCES SWELLING

Question 12

Answer 12

uses warm water
relaxes muscles
increase blood circulation, releive pain

-reisctance of water develops strngth for perfomrer
buyoncy=support
resistance pf water=strength

Question 13

cryotherapy

Answer 13

uses liquid nitrogen to cool chamber
take temp down to below 100 degrees
body reacts like it is hyperthermic
perfomer stands in for 3 minutes
in-blood shunted away from limbs to core to maintin core temperature
out-blood flows towards limbs where injured areas occur, saturated with oxygen helping heal injured cells
