In sports, we monitor speed, volume, and heart rate, but often overlook the most trainable asset.

Muscle Oxygen data can make you a better athlete

PUT physiology first

Fick equation (CO = VO2/AVO2diff)

LUNGS

Deliver O2 to the muscles and remove CO2 from the body.

Heart

Supply the muscles with the necessary oxygen and nutrients to perform the activity

Muscles

O2 supply is crucial for optimal performance and preventing fatigue during exercise.

TYPICAL MEASUREMENT

Testing is an important part of the screening process:

  • It gives an accurate picture of fitness
  • An indication of appropriate starting intensities
  • A baseline for goal-setting
  • Assistance in group fitness recommendations

Goal

What is your goal of the session?

This is essential for the athlete, aswell as the coach to improve.

Typical training day

warm up basics

Every trainings session, should start with a warming-up. During a warm-up it is important that your body is ready for the coming intensity.

Warm-up

Improved

A better warming-up, is the warming-up that increases the oxygenation in the muscle, without fatiguing the muscle.

Warm-up

Example

Filip's warm-up protocol starts with a warmup, second part is the race
pace intense segment, aimed to elevate body temperature and enhance blood flow. Following up by a cooldown:

  • 10-minute easy spin at 140W,
  • three 2-minute bursts at 95%
  • 7-minute easy pedaling

Warm-up

the Science

A severe warm-up reduces mean-power output. The warm-up intesity and its effect on glycontic engery prdouction are imporatn to consider for e.g. Sprint Performance. More information on scientific level is available on our website.

Typical Training Day

Pacing and intensity

We know how to do an incremental test with the sensors, but you can use this exact same information during your workouts, in real time.

A traditional training program precribes output metrics or heartrate, but you can actually be more accurate with our physiological data.

Instead of 3x12 squats with 80kg or 3x20 mins at threshold power use your muscles to guide this load.

Pacing & Intensity

Personal

HowI’m personally using the Train.Red data, is for intensity control.

Aim at 15-20 hrs a week of training.

Polarized approach: 80% relatively easy and 20% hard.
