What is Muscle Oxygen Monitoring?
Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a non-invasive technology that measures muscle oxygen saturation and utilization in real-time. By monitoring how your muscles consume oxygen during exercise, we can identify optimal training intensities, detect fatigue patterns, and prevent overtraining.
SmO₂
Muscle Oxygen Saturation - the percentage of oxygen in your muscle tissue
THb
Total Hemoglobin - indicates blood volume and flow in the muscle
Oxygen Kinetics
How quickly your muscles consume and recover oxygen during exercise
