The "O2 trainer" works on the same principle as masks, they all restrict your air intake and make it harder to breathe. Not your O2 intake. It ain't rocket science. I couldn't find anything on-line about the O2 trainer specifically, other than promotional videos done by its maker. I tend not to trust those.

The only objective info. is a few studies, the most recent I could find in 2016. It's cited in the fox news piece, which is IMO a good critique on all similar devices.
