■ Title   A Study about the Usefulness of Oxygen Chamber as Conditioning Equipment for Volleyball Players

■ Outline   The purpose of this study is to verify the usefulness of HBAC as equipment for getting volleyball players into good physical and mental condition, through showing what effects HBAC can have on the autonomic nerve systems and POMS (Profile of Mood States) of volleyball players who have just finished their training camp the day before. The results of POMS show that HBAC is effective in controlling negative emotions, while it cannot be expected to promote further positive feelings, and the data of salivary amylase indicate that it has the effect of reducing stress. Consequently, we have verified the usefulness of HBAC as conditioning equipment, physically and mentally, for volleyball players.   Collaboration   Journal of Volleyball Science      2013/06
