Video stated 95% oxygen. Over 30% is flammable. I hope they know what the heck they are doing. Cell phone use could make their dwelling explode.
Not really. Fires will start/spread quicker but you aren't going to get explosions. Not sure exactly what her protocol is but you do have to be a bit careful when messing around with pressures and oxygen content (google oxygen toxicity and you will get a bunch of hits on diving sites) to avoid causing problems but I assume they have a solid routine.
I am not sure how solid the evidence is for this promoting recovery. I know a lot of people push it and there is limited data backing it up but I am not sure we have anything really definitive. But we are also talking about looking for very small edges. I bet Rupp has spent time in one. That would be such an AlSal move:)
Recovery seems like one area that is a bit behind others as far as training goes from a scientific point of view. It is sort of hard to measure and the difference are likely small (i.e. you can do 10% more work in a week).
Oxygen chamber gives Martinez 95% oxygen. There is a canister of pure oxygen in dwelling that can explode.
Hyperbaric therapy absolutely is a recommended medical course of treatment for individuals with lower extremity circulatory problems in the field of wound care. Successfully used to treat venous ulcers, thrombosis, etc., typically caused by diabetes and other illnesses. The wife is a certified wound care and HBT nurse and has seen its benefits. Bottom line-it promotes accelerated healing and blood flow to the patient. Whether it has benefits for otherwise healthy individuals like Martinez and other world class athletes she doesn’t know. The people she sees are very sick and need this treatment to address chronic neuropathy, to prevent amputations, and other ghastly wounds, etc.
She does say during the treatment a doctor is present and the procedure is closely supervised. Only a skilled nurse specifically trained to manage the chamber facilitates the treatment because of the potential risk (however low) for an explosion due to the presence of 100% oxygen. Her clinic is in a hospital so if something goes wrong there are staff on site.
That said good luck to Brenda on her training!

Well at least she gave up red meat which is the most nutritious food (along with fatty fish and eggs, didn't see any of those either) for an athlete. Chicken is garbage meat unless it is completely free-range with skin on, which it rarely is.

LOL man you need to learn basic nutrition. Animal products have limited applicability, at best, in regards to long longevity.
How is it even possible to be a runner with so little food?! If I ate that little I'd be hospitalised!

You are right with the portrait of her food intake during the day on the video she’s definitely in a caloric deficit and so that could not be sustained long-term. However, I doubt very much that these athletes are fully truthful when they portray their diets on video because as previously mentioned it would not be sustainable long-term. With her diet on the video it would amount around 12 to 1500 cal per day whereas her energy expenditure would be around 3000 at least. not sustainable

There are no RCTs for longevity and ANY diet (not really feasible), but as for epidemiology, the two highest % animal foods consumption are Hong Kong and Japan, who are #1 and 2 in longevity. They also have had very little covid impact despite little or no mandates.
An athlete like her not getting at least 120g/day of animal protein (preferably beef or lamb) is shorting herself considerably in performance.

They don't have mandates in Japan but they do have requests. The Japanese people responded to those requests in a responsible way unlike the US.
Japan, however, has never enforced a lockdown with penalties, even when a national state of emergency was declared on April 15 in an expansion of the state of emergency for Tokyo and six other prefectures declared earlier on April 7. Instead, the government “requested” that people refrain from going out and that restaurants and bars suspend their business, without ever forcing them to close down. This soft approach was enough to achieve a de facto lockdown as people practiced risk aversion rather than bearing responsibility for spreading the virus, and those who feared social sanctions bowed to social pressure.
The “requests” to practice risk aversion helped to accelerate a decline in new infections that had already started before the declaration of a national emergency, but there is no doubt that there was another factor in play as well and this was the call to avoid the “three Cs”: closed spaces with poor ventilation, crowded spaces open to the public, and close-contact settings putting people in range of flying droplets from speaking, coughing, and sneezing. All three of these situations increase the risk of droplet infection, so avoiding them will naturally decrease the possibility of infection. In other words, even if the mandated 2-meter physical distance cannot be maintained, it is still possible to lower the risk of infection by avoiding the three Cs as we continue to go about our daily activities.
https://www.nippon.com/en/in-depth/d00592/Japan is NOT avoiding infections, despite the stereotype of their being some kind of hypersanitary marvels of human behavior. Tokyo went from 5 to 49% positives for antibodies this summer, with no effect on death rate or cases.
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.21.20198796v1.article-infoThey are just a LOT healthier (Highest vitamin D levels for instance and among the lowest in obesity) and aren't getting sick, just as I have been for years on an animal-based diet, when I used to have chronic lung infections that would require regular medical attention. Now everything bounces off like rain on a duck's back.

Not from a spark or random open flame. It requires a bit of work to get them to blow.
She doesn't have one of the medical grade ones that allow for much higher oxygen levels and obviously much higher risks of messing yourself up. There is a lot of work done on how the medical grade ones help healing in as you say some really bad patients. It isn't as clear if oxygen is as rate limiting in healthy people or if the mild chambers do enough. It is sort of a trendy thing right now. Lebron was in one for a while when recovering from injuries.
Do you get it? Commercial for sponsors, and a good one indeed. If you want to train at a high level, you have to be able to afford to eat. Plus it’s nice to keep in touch with your fans.
Where the flying frick is Brian Bell?
Question. How is it possible in the workout shown on the treadmill that she is not even sweating? Even when I am just doing easy runs on the treadmill, I am sweating like crazy wearing shorts and a sports bra. Must be an very cold temperature in the room. However, many people still sweat much more than what was shown during hard training efforts in the cold. Very strange.
I wanna kiss her feet

lol
My understanding of a hyperbaric chamber is that it doesn't change the percentage oxygen content of the atmosphere, rather it just increases the pressure to say 1.3-1.4 atmospheres.
After watching the video I see the advantages of being with a training group.
Doing 10% more work in a week would be huge.
