Abstract
Various systems and methods for monitoring oxygen saturation are provided. A monitoring system may include a sensor configured to obtain a physiological signal and a monitor configured to obtain the signal from the sensor and to determine a baseline oxygen saturation from the physiological signal and to generate one or more zones based at least in part on the baseline oxygen saturation. Each zone may include a different range of percentages of oxygen saturation and at least one of the zones corresponds to an anaerobic exercise condition.
Claims20
A monitoring system comprising:
- a sensor configured to obtain a physiological signal;
- a monitor configured to:
- obtain the physiological signal from the sensor;
- determine a baseline oxygen saturation from the physiological signal;
- and
- generate one or more zones based at least in part on the baseline oxygen saturation, wherein each zone includes a different range of percentages of oxygen saturation and at least one of the zones corresponds to an anaerobic exercise condition.

A monitor comprising:
- a sensor interface configured to receive a physiological signal from a sensor applied to a subject;
- and
- a processor configured to establish at least one zone corresponding to an anaerobic exercise condition based at least in part on the physiological signal received from the sensor, wherein the at least one zone includes a range of percentages of oxygen saturation.
A method comprising:
- receiving, onto data processing circuitry, data obtained from a sensor applied to a subject;
- determining, using the data processing circuitry, at least a first zone and a second zone based on the data obtained from the sensor, wherein the first zone corresponds to an aerobic exercise condition and the second zone corresponds to an anaerobic exercise condition;
- monitoring the athlete's oxygen saturation during exercise and comparing the athlete's oxygen saturation to the first zone and to the second zone to determine whether the subject is performing aerobic or anaerobic exercise;
- and
- providing an indication related to whether the subject is performing aerobic or anaerobic exercise.
