I am spending about an hour a day in a Hyperbaric Chamber (Hyper - not Hypo) -
4psi, very high oxygen concentration
(I am doing this for a couple of health reasons / helping my son with autism)
I have read that this will also help in recovering from muscle fatigue in "getting back into shape" - I have tested this and it seems to be true. I can bury myself in a ride and feel fine the next day (after being in the chamber).
But long term, I am concerned this will have a negative impact on my training - isn't that the whole reason people sleep in low oxygen environments when training?

People sleep in low O2 on the supposition that it causes the body to generate more red corpuscles. That is probably unlikely unless you're a real extremist and do it all night every night.
The same might be said of your treatments. Remember that your blood O2 is probably 99% at atmospheric pressure so what would additional O2 do?
"Conclusion: These results suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy was not effective in the treatment of exercise-induced muscle injury as indicated by the markers evaluated."

Why should we take your word? Have you ever ridden a fixed gear?
