What I've read says O2 saturation of the blood remains rather steady, until you go anaerobic (oxygen debt).
OK, yes... mis-spoken/written - Blood O2 is regulated by Blood chemistry, within a small range.
What does happen is the blood flow affects how much O2 is made available over time. Higher HR, more flow, more available O2 to diffuse into the cell.
