Breathe through the nose for better oxygenation How we breathe influences Oxygen (O²) transfer from our blood to our muscles and organs. Haemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells (erythrocytes) that carries O² from the lungs to the body’s tissues and organs and returns Carbon Dioxide (CO²) from the tissues back to the lungs   The air we breathe contains 21% O². The bloods O² saturation (SpO²) is a p

Hemoglobin carries Oxygen Breathing correctly is important to the oxygen (O2) transfer from our blood to our muscles and organs. Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs The air we breathe contains 21% oxygen. The O2 saturation (SpO2) in the blood of a healthy individual, which is

Watch the SaO² (Oxygen Saturation) of your blood change with breath holding exercises to simulate High Altitude training. In the sports world it is now believed that it is best to live high and train low so that we may acclimatize to compete at altitude whilst gaining maximum benefit of both. This is of course not terribly practical unless we worked and lived on a high mountain next to the sea  and that we could move
