For a normal healthy person, not much..
Breathing pure oxygen certainly will not hurt you...
You see professional football players grabbing a few
big breaths of pure oxygen on the sidelines sometimes
which helps to remove some of the built up CO2 quickly
before they go in for the next play..

The benefit is faster, more complete oxygen saturation in conditions where the body cannot reach full saturation through breathing ambient air. Breathing pure oxygen is not harmful to adults, but can cause eye problems in newborns. It is also a fire hazard if you are in an environment of pure oxygen. This led to the death of some of the Apollo astronauts. And if you were in California 10 years ago, breathing pure oxygen at an oxygen bar might make you more trendy.

PURE OXYGEN IS TOXIC!!!! Never breathe more than one or two shallow breaths of pure oxygen at one time. Preferrably, use a nasal cannula (that little gadget that goes up the nose that you see people wearing nowadays) or a vented mask. If you completely filled your lungs with pure oxygen you would probably be dead in a minute or two.
Always mix oxygen with other gases, and take it in moderation.
To answer your original question, adding oxygen to the air you breathe in is of no value to a normal healthy person below about 12,000 feet above sea level. Some people may experience a gentle high or mild euphorea. A few people will experience unaccountable terror, vertigo, panic, or depression. I know one case of a teenage girl who ran into heavy traffic screaming that "it was after her, and she wanted to die."
So don't play around with the inhalation of oxygen or other gasses. Very dangerous. Only for a professional to administer and only for people with heart or lung disease for whom there will be medical benefits.

Pure oxygen is actually poisonous to you, and it will start off by feeling like a high, as if you've been breathing way too hard for a few minutes, and then stood up too fast... Then it will eventually kill you.
You'd initially be able to dive for several minutes in excess of normal, and without nitrogen in the lungs, there would be less consequences such as 'the bends' from decompression sickness, but it's obviously outside of normal risk-tolerances, or scuba divers would do this.

NONE.... your body gets enough oxygen from regular air.
Don't forget, pure oxygen will make things that are normally not combustible burn vigorously. Don't experiment with this.
