Muscle Oxygen Saturation Measurement and Training Optimization
Muscle oxygen saturation devices like Moxie and Human use NIR infrared spectroscopy to measure oxygen levels within muscles, indicating the balance between oxygen supply and demand. Understanding this balance can help optimize training by tailoring workouts based on individual physiological profiles. High values suggest supply exceeds demand, while low values indicate a need for cardiovascular adaptations or peripheral training to improve oxygen utilization.
