Definition:  Recreational oxygen equipment such as oxygen concentrator separates oxygen from nitrogen in the air, and allows the person to receive purified oxygen. Recreational oxygen is also known as canned oxygen. Unlike medical oxygen systems, recreational oxygen Equipment does not require approval from the medical devices regulatory authorities such as U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency  (EMA), and others. Recreational oxygen is considered as major component to enhance athletic performance. It also helps to improve natural endurance and speed up muscle recovery.
