- PURPOSE: Pulse oximetry is one of the most common forms of monitoring in the critical care setting. Through a finger oximeter, it is possible to verify the presence of hypoxemia. The objective of this study was to verify the Heart Rate (HR) and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO2) in athletes participating in the 2017 Brazilian Scholarship Paralympic Games. METHODS Participated in the study 49 male athletes of the CP Football (n=30) and Boccia Sports (n=19). The physiological variables heart rate (HR) and the hemoglobin oxygen saturation (StO2) were measured at rest. RESULTS: CP Football athletes presented 94.7±7.2 and 84.3±14.8 for %StO2 and HR (bpm) respectively. On the other hand, to Boccia athletes was found values of 82.1±22.0 and 81.2±29.6 for %StO2 and HR(bpm). Paralympic athletes, especially those with Cerebral Palsy (CP) can experience lower physical fitness levels which could undergo to oxygen desaturation. A possible explanation for this is that oxygen desaturation would be related to the VO2max and the physical level of the athletes (MIYACHI, 1999). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, athletes with CP has presented lower levels pf StO2. Because it is a pioneering study in the area of Paralympic sport with athletes who present impairments (Cerebral Palsy and others), we realize the need for a special attention in their level of blood saturation, since the lack of oxygen in the blood can have relations to a training of high intensity that will lead to hyperventilation done wrong or inadequate.
