| Description | The aim of the study was to find out an effect of oxygenated water Natural-oxy-explosive with declared oxygen concentration 60 mg/l (Nutrend) on an oxygen saturation of haemoglobin in a triathlonist (52 yrs, 79 kg, 179 cm), and whether we can to recommend the drink to sportsmen. We found out by pulse oxymetry a statistical significant increasing of the saturation in 60 minute period after the intake of the 0,75 l water during ten minutes (before drinking: 97,4%; after intake: 97,9 to 98,6%). However we can not recommend the drink to sportsmen because its oxygen concentration is too high (more then accepted 25 mg/l). The artificially enhancing of oxygen delivery is a prohibited method by World Anti-Doping Code. |
