Quick takeaways

Measuring SmO2 provides direct insight into body's reactions at different intensities, essential for efficient training zones.

Using Moxy device aids in increasing high-intensity workout intervals by identifying physiological limiters like oxygen delivery or utilization.

Using Moxi Monitor for Interval Training

When using the Moxi device for high-intensity intervals, athletes can avoid going anaerobic by monitoring their muscle oxygen levels. By stopping just before oxygen-independent metabolism is activated, athletes can do more intervals without exhausting oxygen stores. This approach optimizes oxygen utilization and allows athletes to sustain aerobic work.

Roger Schmitz of Moxy, discusses next-generation physiological measurements for endurance athletes: muscle oxygen saturation, SmO2. This can already be done today at testing facilities or day to day in all training sessions, with the small and handy Moxy device. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:

Why measuring SmO2 to establish training zones and use in real-time is physiologically the most direct way to know what's happening in your body at different intensities any given day
How using SmO2 and Moxy is different from traditional lactate testing or metabolic testing
How using the Moxy device has helped athletes massively increase the number of intervals they can do in high-intensity workouts
Measuring SmO2 to determine your exact your physiological limiters - oxygen delivery, utilisation or even cardiac or respiratory function
