Does inhaling extra oxygen creates free radicals and causes oxidative stress?

Free radicals are highly reactive, unstable molecules that cause cell damage. An overabundance of free radicals can harm our DNA, eventually resulting in muscle breakdown, exhaustion, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Research has shown that Exercising with oxygen actually reduces free radical propagation. Oxidative stress is the state in which your body has a free radical-antioxidant imbalance. Incorporating oxygen into your workout routine improves exercise tolerance without triggering further oxidative stress. View study
