Effect of mountaineering training on Oxygen saturation
Keywords:
High Attitude, Duration of ExposureAbstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of mountaineering training on oxygen saturation of mountaineering trainees. Male mountaineering trainees from Basic Mountaineering Courses organized by Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Mountaineering and Allied Sports, Manali were selected for the purpose of this study. Data were collected from 43 willing and healthy male mountaineering trainees from various camps i.e. camp I to IV. Single group repeated measure design was used. RM ANOVA was used to analyze the collected data at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the present study reveals that there is a significant effect of mountaineering training on oxygen saturation at various camps.
