Research & Studies

We’re all about the power of oxygen, but don’t just take our word for it. Dive into the latest research and news articles that break down the science behind why oxygen is the ultimate game-changer for health and wellness. Go ahead, breathe it in.

Let’s talk ROKiT Oxygen

Research

Improve memory and cognitive function:

Summary: Inhaling oxygen before learning significantly boosts memory recall, supporting the idea that higher oxygen levels enhance cognitive function and memory consolidation.

Improve your “special” performance:

Summary: A new study suggests that breathing in pure oxygen may improve erectile function as effectively as medication, with fewer side effects and potentially longer-lasting results. A little squirt might make everyone happy.

Improved Reaction times:

Summary: Inhaling highly concentrated oxygen (43.2%) significantly improved reaction times in visual matching tasks compared to normal air (22.1%), supporting the idea that higher oxygen levels enhance cognitive processing.

Inadequate cerebral oxygen delivery and central fatigue during strenuous exercise:

Summary: During intense exercise, hyperventilation limits cerebral blood flow, potentially reducing oxygen delivery to the brain and contributing to fatigue.

Studies

Influence of Hyperoxic-Supplemented High-Intensity Interval Training on Hemotological and Muscle Mitochondrial Adaptations in Trained Cyclists:

Summary: Hyperoxic-supplemented HIIT showed small gains in cycling performance without physiological changes, raising questions about its mechanisms and ethical concerns in elite sports.
