High altitude tourism is becoming increasingly popular among non-athletic population but its potential impact on health is often neglected. This study investigated the relations of physical fitness and mean peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (SpO2) during the trek in altitudes.17 recreational lowland men (age 48±11) participated in 26 day Himalaya trek, the highest point reached being Mera Peak (6476m). The initial measurements included also a graded test till complete exhaustion on treadmill. From achieved time and given the treadmill speed and grade the maximal aerobic capacity was estimated and expressed in MET. During the tour, the SpO2 was recorded on every new altitude by pulse oximetry, altogether on 21 occasion. The results showed that the intensity that was achieved at maximal exertion (mean reached intensity was 14.91±2.14 METs) was significantly correlated with the mean peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (mean SpO2 88.48±2.63%) calculated from all measured SpO2 during the trek (Pearson r=0.713 at P |
