Muscle Oxygen Saturation (SmO2) with Roger Schmitz | EP#85

Dec 18, 2017

Roger Schmitz discusses muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) for endurance athletes, highlighting how using SmO2 can optimize training zones, increase interval workout capacity, and determine physiological limiters. The Moxy device offers real-time monitoring to improve training outcomes by understanding oxygen delivery and utilization balance.

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
