However, supplemental oxygen works as an aid to help you breathe better when you walk, exercise, or do any kind of physical activity. This can help you get around easier, be more active, and exercise better than you could before.
Here are some of the main ways that supplemental oxygen affects your ability to exercise:
- Improves your exercise tolerance, which is your ability to complete physical activities
- Improves your exercise endurance, which is your ability to walk or do other physical activities for extended periods of time
- Reduces respiratory symptoms and discomfort during exercise
- Allows you to exert yourself harder and do more intense exercises
