We had the athletes do a tough squat workout without Oxygen Plus (formerly Oxygen Factor), and then we had them repeat the workout again 1 week later, but this time using Oxygen Plus. All of the athletes participating in the test had been doing CrossFit type training for at least several months and two of the athletes were elite level CrossFit competitors.
