I have never been able to tell any difference after diving nitrox or air.
Is there a double blind study somewhere that shows that nitrox causes less fatigue?
Without such a study, I have to believe that such claims are fantasy at best.
An individual can do no such study themselves, since they cannot do the same dive, at the same time, with both gasses. Also
you know what you are diving with, thus prejudices come into play.

I have always found that greatest contribution to fatigue is heat loss, no matter what gas you use.
