Being the lab 🐁 today at @isnmalaysia this morning.
Participated as their pilot subject to run the test for an upcoming research.
This video showing me running at 18 kph for 45 seconds.
Running at several stages of speed (up to 20kph) for a 45 seconds at an altitude of 4500m with only 11.5% of Oxygen pumping into my body.
My oxygen saturation dropped to 62% after running at 20 kph for 45 seconds, which consider very critical level as one might really pass out at that percentage.
Hypoxic condition is between 85 - 94% and severely hypoxic is <85% or = 85%.
Normal oxygen saturation when one is healthy is about > 95% or = 95%. One way to find out if you are fully recovered from the previous training session is to monitor your blood oxygen saturation.
People with COPD will have a reading of 88% - 92%.
Here some fact sheet for you.
