Thanks to Oxygen Advantage Blog in South Africa 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 the % of the hemoglobin that is carrying O2, is between 95 and 99%. Of importance to athletes and active individuals, is how the oxygen attaches and detaches itself from the hemoglobin that is transporting it through the body as we exercise. Endurance athletes rely heavily on oxygen to release the energy of the fat reserves in the body and therefore the more efficient the O2 transfer to the muscle, the better the athlete can harness that energy. During inhalation, the O2 molecule attaches itself to the hemoglobin ...
