Using Biomarker Measurements For Real-Time Pace Guidance

Traditionally systemic physiological responses such as changes in VO2, heart rate, and blood lactate have been used to quantify exercise intensity and inform athlete’s pacing strategies during training and racing.

An alternative approach is to use local indicators of a working muscle’s status, such as muscle oxygenation (SmO2), nitric oxide (NO), and oxygen consumption (mVO2), which can be monitored with a NNOXX wearable device in real-time.

NNOXX’s non-invasive biomarker measurements provide a simple, safe, and reliable way to determine exercise intensity based on changes on the metabolic status of working muscles, which are associated with systemic changes in whole-body metabolism. As a result, athlete’s can use their NNOXX data to adjust their pacing and exertion during training and racing to maximize performance.

In the latest On Human Performance newsletter you’ll learn how to use real-time physiological data to guide your pacing in order to minimize fatigue and maximize performance during training and racing.
