SpO2 level drops to 80 during running

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

At normal times the SpO2 level is between 93-99. But when we checked his SpO2 just seconds after running it was 80 and then in few seconds jumped back to 88 and then 90. Also he's not a very active person in general. Is it a cause of worry?
