Pulse oximetry as a tool to assess the level of acclimatisation and the effect of the training load on the body of an elite female runner during altitude training
(Pulsoximetrie als ein Werkzeug zur Bewertung des Akklimatisierungsniveaus und des Effekts der Trainingsbelastung auf den Körper einer Spitzenläuferin während Höhentraining)
The results of a case study on an elite female runner, participant of the World Championship and European Championship, are presented. We examined the feasibility of using a finger pulse oximeter to follow the acclimatisation process and training stress during mountain training workshops. We measured the subject`s blood saturation with oxygen, heart rate and perfusion index levels. The results demonstrated that periodic pulse measurements with a finger pulse oximeter can be used to monitor both the body response to acclimatisation at high altitudes and to the training load and that this is a promising approach to a rapid and reliable assessment of acclimatisation as well as to the monitoring of the body response to load.
