Title: Oxygen During Exercise Airtower has been testing use of supplemental oxygen during exercise. There are pills or drinks that claim to raise oxygen levels, but Airtower tested on persons performing exercise and measured their pulse and blood oxygen levels during exercise. In general, the pulse was lower and the blood oxygen level was higher for those on oxygen. Their results are shown on their website. http://www.airtower.com/benefits/benefits.html There is a mistake in their graphs. The time was done in minutes, not seconds. But what you see is that persons that are more out of shape performed more like seasoned athletes. The qualitative measurement was that the persons in the test felt like they could work out harder and longer on oxygen. The tests were done using SeQual equipment. http://www.sequal.com Note that in the United States, a prescription is required for medical oxygen. The thought from the doctor on-hand for the tests is that this can help persons who have not been exercising regularly back into a regular exercise regimen. The nice part is that the results are measurable and obvious. Any person can reproduce this testing with a treadmill, an oxygen concentrator, and a pulse oxymeter, as well as feel the benefits. There's no guesswork or marketing hype.
