Elevate Your VO2 Max Testing: Unlock Muscle-Level Insights with TSI Sensors

Building upon our Gold-Standard VO2 Max Test, this Enhanced option incorporates cutting-edge TSI (Tissue Saturation Index) Muscle Oxygenation Sensors to provide a revolutionary dimension to your performance assessment. Go beyond systemic VO2 Max and understand what’s happening inside your muscles during exercise.

Take Your VO2 Max Data to the Next Level – Add Muscle Oxygenation Analysis

While the Standard VO2 Max Test provides essential data on your cardiovascular engine, the VO2 Max Test with TSI Sensors delves deeper, revealing the critical role of your muscles in aerobic performance. Gain a holistic understanding of your oxygen utilisation, from your lungs to your working muscles, unlocking truly personalised training optimisation.

What Makes This VO2 Max Test Enhanced? – The Power of TSI Muscle Oxygenation Sensors

This enhanced VO2 Max test integrates Deep Tissue Muscle Oxygenation Sensors that utilise Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) technology. These sensors are comfortably placed on key muscles (typically arm and legs) during your VO2 Max test. They continuously and non-invasively measure muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) in real-time, providing a dynamic window into your muscle’s oxygen supply and demand during exercise.

Data You Will Receive – Expanding Beyond Standard VO2 Max Metrics:

In addition to all the data from the Standard VO2 Max Test (VO2 Max score, training zones, VT1 & VT2), you will also receive detailed Muscle Oxygenation Data, including:

• Real-time Muscle Oxygen Saturation (SmO2) Graphs: Visual representations of your muscle oxygen levels in key muscle groups throughout your VO2 Max test. See exactly how your muscles are responding to increasing exercise intensity.

• Individual Muscle Response Analysis: Detailed interpretation of SmO2 data for each muscle group monitored (e.g., arm, legs). Identify which muscles are working efficiently and which may be limiting your performance due to oxygen delivery or utilisation constraints.

• Identification of Localised Muscle Fatigue Patterns: Pinpoint specific muscles that fatigue prematurely or exhibit reduced oxygen saturation during the test. This can reveal muscle imbalances, weaknesses, or areas needing targeted training.

• Systemic vs. Localised Limitation Differentiation: Distinguish between limitations driven by your overall cardiovascular system (systemic VO2 Max limits) and limitations originating within specific muscle groups (localised muscle fatigue).

• VT1 & VT2 Refinement – Muscle Oxygenation Informed: Your Ventilatory Thresholds (VT1 & VT2) are further refined and validated by considering muscle oxygenation data alongside breathing analysis, leading to even more precise and physiologically relevant thresholds.

• Comprehensive Report & Advanced Interpretation: An expanded report integrating both standard VO2 Max metrics and detailed TSI muscle oxygenation analysis, with expert guidance on applying these advanced insights to your training plan.

Enhanced Benefits of VO2 Max Testing with TSI Muscle Oxygenation Sensors:

• Unlock Deeper Muscle-Level Performance Insights: Go beyond systemic VO2 Max and understand the crucial role of your muscles in your aerobic capacity and limitations.

• Identify & Address Muscle Imbalances & Weaknesses: Pinpoint specific muscles that may be holding you back, allowing for targeted strength training and rehabilitation to improve overall performance and reduce injury risk.

• Optimise Training Intensity & Volume – Muscle-Informed: Use muscle oxygenation data to refine your training intensity and volume, ensuring you are effectively stressing your muscles for adaptation without pushing them into excessive fatigue.

• Personalise Recovery Strategies – Muscle Recovery Insights: Gain insights into muscle recovery patterns during and after exercise, informing more effective recovery strategies to minimise fatigue and maximise training adaptation.

• Gain a Competitive Edge with Advanced Data: Access a level of physiological data typically only available in elite sports science labs, giving you a competitive edge through truly personalised and muscle-focused training optimisation.
