Relationship between oxygen saturation and exercise

The effect of exercise on oxygen saturation is related to the degree of exercise. Oxygen saturation is the concentration of oxygen in the blood, usually around 98%. Temporary exercise and intense exercise have different effects on oxygen saturation. 1. Temporary exercise: the oxygen content of the blood is lowered, but it is also in the normal range, i.e. greater than 90%. Because exercise promotes the body to consume oxygen, long-term aerobic exercise, can improve the heart muscle and so on. 2. Vigorous exercise: affects blood circulation, which will make blood oxygen drop. Affect the elimination rate of fatigue. For example, wrestling, playing ball, etc. If the exercise is too intense, blood oxygen saturation <90% may occur. It can lead to symptoms such as lack of concentration, dizziness and anxiety. It is recommended to consult with a clinician and professional fitness instructor to choose an exercise routine that is appropriate for you. If a decrease in blood oxygen saturation occurs after exercise, medical attention is needed as soon as possible to avoid delay.
