Josh Smith began his NBA career in 2004. He won the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in 2005 and was named to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team for the 2004-2005 season. In the 2009-2010 season, he was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team. From 2004 to 2018, he played in the NBA for the Atlanta Hawks, Detroit Pistons, Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers, and New Orleans Pelicans.
Josh Smith played in China during the 2016-2017 season, joining the Sichuan Blue Whales, the defending CBA champions that season.
How did the MACY-PAN hyperbaric chamber gain the favor of the newly crowned CBA champions?
The Sichuan Blue Whales won the first CBA championship in the club's history during the 2015-16 season. As they celebrated their victory, the club’s management also began considering how to maintain the players’ performance and achieve further success in the following season. While researching training support methods used by world-renowned athletes, "hyperbaric oxygen chambers" came into focus. Basketball superstars such as LeBron James, Kevin Love and Anthony Davis use hyperbaric oxygen therapy provided by these chambers to help sustain their high level of play.
Based on an analysis of various factors including geographical location, intellectual property, and technological development, the Sichuan Blue Whales chose to purchase the 1.5 ATA hyperbaric chamber for sale from Macy Pan, located in Shanghai, China.
Macy Pan was founded in 2007. In 2010, it obtained China’s first invention patent for a Portable Hyperbaric Chamber.The first Hard Type Hyperbaric Chamber was launched in 2015. By 2016, Macy Pan hyperbaric chambers company had customers in nearly 65 countries and regions around the world. Today, Macy Pan hbot chambers are sold to 126 countries and regions worldwide.

Why do professional basketball clubs prefer purchase hyperbaric chamber soft over Hard shell hyperbaric chamber for sale?
In the 2015-16 season, the Sichuan Blue Whales had three foreign players-Justin Dentmon, Mike Harris, and Hamed Haddadi. Due to their performance in the previous season, they were allowed to have an additional Asian import. Given the club’s financial strength, it was clear they wouldn’t miss the opportunity to reinforce their roster. However, the hyperbaric chamber purchased by the Sichuan Blue Whales was not a hard shell chamber, but the Macy Pan soft hyperbaric oxygen chamber for home - ST801.
Just a few months after the ST801 was introduced to the Sichuan Blue Whales, Josh Smith joined the team.


While Portable Hyperbaric Chamber Wholesale costs only about 40% of Hard sided Hyperbaric Chamber and weighs just one-tenth as much as Hard Hyperbaric Chambers in bulk, the hard shell hyperbaric chamber 2 ATA can be permanently installed in a corner of the team’s training room. However, as basketball fans know, sports like basketball are played not only at home but also on the road.


The CBA schedule typically consists of 2 to 3 consecutive home games followed by 2 to 3 consecutive away games. Faced with back-to-back road games and long-distance travel, players need ample physical energy and must maintain peak performance. Soft hyperbaric chambers are not only portable but can also be folded to save space. As a result, MACY-PAN Portable Hyperbaric Chamber for Lying, model ST801, can accompany Sichuan Blue Whales players on away trips via land or air transportation.

What are the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen chambers for athletes?
For basketball players (and athletes in other high-intensity sports), excessive physical exertion and muscle strains during competition are almost inevitable. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy provided by hyperbaric oxygen chambers can serve as a "rehabilitation therapist" for these athletes.

Hyperbaric oxygen chambers provide several key benefits for athletes during daily training and post-game recovery:
1.Accelerated physical recovery: Hyperbaric oxygen chambers increase the oxygen concentration in the blood, enhancing tissue oxygenation and thereby speeding up the recovery of muscle fatigue and injuries.
2.Improved endurance: By delivering a higher concentration of oxygen, hyperbaric chambers help boost athletes’ endurance and overall performance, especially after intense training sessions.
3.Enhanced immune function: Hyperbaric oxygen can strengthen the immune system, helping athletes resist potential infections during training and competition.
4.Mental relaxation: The chamber creates a warm, relaxing environment that helps athletes reduce mental stress and improve focus.
5.Better sleep quality: Some studies suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve sleep quality, which is crucial for athletic recovery and performance.
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers offer the following key benefits for treating sports-related injuries in athletes:
1.Reducing inflammation: Hyperbaric oxygen can suppress inflammatory responses, relieve post-exercise muscle soreness and swelling, and help athletes return to peak condition more quickly.
2.Promoting wound healing: For injured athletes, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can accelerate the healing of soft tissue and bone injuries, thereby shortening recovery time.
In summary, hyperbaric oxygen chambers provide athletes with an effective recovery solution, helping them maintain peak condition during intense training and competition.
