Interesting. I wonder if one could simulate the effect on the cheap by wearing a plastic bag over your head for short periods while exercising.

on a more serious note, isn't this the same as breathing into a paper bag? you could use a oxymeter to check your blood oxygen levels? Might try this as preparation for my kili attempt next months...
