There are lots of makes and models of pulse oximeters for sale. This is how they work:

Oxygen levels and pulse rate is measured by a pulse oximeter. Hemoglobin bears oxygen and changes color according to how much it holds. A fingertip sensor is generally used. The sensor incorporates miniature lights along with a photo-detector which can see how the light has changed after shining through the fingertip (how it has been absorbed). A processor and software within the oximeter utilizes this information to determine the color and flow of the blood. This is displayed to the user as pulse rate and percentage oxygen saturation.

There are a few pulse oximeters for sale suitable for sports training or activities at altitude.

Air becomes significantly less dense as altitude increases, lungs must work harder to obtain the equivalent quantity of oxygen compared with at sea level. The lungs become less efficient, potentially with really serious consequences such as hypoxia. Hypoxia makes it difficult to think clearly and make good decisions, with sustained exposure loss of consciousness and even loss of life is a possibility. A pulse oximeter such as the Go2 can help avoid danger by alerting you if the SPO2 or oxygen saturation of the blood has fallen to a dangerous level.


Here are a few activities where a pulse oximeter is frequently put to use:

• Sport carried out by an individual with a pre-diagnosed lung disorder
• Sport at high altitude and also simulated high altitude training e.g. intermittent hypoxic training
  
• Mountain climbers where hypoxia can be a real danger
• pilots of small aircraft, micro-lights, gliders, hang gliders etc
• breath hold/free diving
