The features of changes of heart rate (HR) and blood oxygen saturation degree (SpÎ2 %) in 12-14-year-old teenagers with different training levels have been studied. The research has been made with application of pulse oxymetry method in conditions of breath-holding functional tests (Genchi?s test, Stange?s test and test with hyperventilation), short-term physical exercise (Martine?s test) and their combinations. The exercised teenagers, in comparison with the unexercised ones, at rest have HR on 12 % (p?0,01) lower. Moreover, the tachycardia at Martine?s test is weaker on 11,3 % (p?0,01). Hoverer teenagers of both groups have practically identical SpÎ2% (98–99 %). In conditions of breath-holding tests the unexercised teenagers show the breath-delay from 15±2 second (Genchi?s test) up to 50±1 second (Stange?s test). In addition HR increases on 50–12 % (ð?0,001) and SpÎ2 % decreases on 2–1 % (ð?0,001) accordingly. The exercised teenagers show a longer breath-delay (ð?0,001), a weaker tachycardia (ð?0,001) and a more stable SpÎ2% is stable. Breath-holding before the physical exercise test causes HR increases only in case of the exercised teenagers, probably, playing a role of "prestart". Thus, inspections with application of pulse oxymetry method and functional tests enable to differentiate exercised teenagers from unexercised ones through economizing of cardiovascular system functioning and mobilization, the organism sustainability to sharp hypoxia.
