Summary

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 SHOWNOTES: www.thattriathlonshow.com   SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration. Take Precision Hydration's FREE sweat test and learn how you should hydrate. Use the discount code THATTRIATHLONSHOW for 15% off any products.      Ventum - The ultimate triathlon bikes, using technology from fighter jets and Formula One race cars. Easier to build, pack, and travel with than any other tri bike. Get 110% of the value of your old bike towards the purchase of a new Ventum bike.      LINKS AND RESOURCES: Moxy's website Threshold Confusion: Aerobic, Anaerobic, Lactate, Functional - Help! | EP#71 To lab test or not to lab test with Alan Couzens | EP#79 Hands-on with the Moxy Muscle Oxygen Sensor - by DC Rainmaker   RATE AND REVIEW: If you enjoy the show, please help me out by subscribing, rating and reviewing: www.scientifictriathlon.com/rate/   CONTACT: Want to send feedback, questions or just chat? Email me at mikael@scientifictriathlon.com or connect on Twitter - my handle is @SciTriat.

you can avoid getting into the situation where you go anaerobic.

0:03.8

You stop right before you have to use your oxygen independent sources of metabolism.

0:08.7

And we've seen where people can do this, they can do many more intervals than they could otherwise

0:13.9

because they're not burning the matches.

0:15.7

They're not using up their oxygen independent stores of metabolism.

0:20.7

That triathlon show, episode 85. Yeah. oxygen independent stores of metabolism.

0:24.2

That Triathlon Show, episode 85.

0:42.3

Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show, the podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.

0:45.4

I'm your host, Michael, and on today's episode, I have a really, really cutting-edge interview

0:50.3

for you with a scoop about the sub-to- at the end by the way and that's a bit

0:56.5

of a side note but it was really interesting i found anyway i hope that you've listened to my

1:03.2

previous episodes on related topics those are episode 79 on lab testing for triathletes and episodes

1:10.5

episode 71 on the physiology of the aerobic

1:14.1

and anaerobic thresholds and how they impact your training zones those are related

1:19.2

listening to this one and if you have listened to them and know this stuff then this episode

1:24.6

will be even more meaningful to you and And you'll see how you can start

1:28.7

to train according to your, to your physiology on a day by day or even second by second basis.

1:36.4

And you'll see what happens in your working muscles at all times, not just based on surrogates

1:42.9

for what's happening in your body, that power paste and heart rate, they really are just surrogates for what's happening in your body that power pace and heart rate,

1:46.6

they really are just surrogates for what we think is happening based on a test that you've done at some point,

1:53.3

but we don't actually know what's happening in your muscles just using that.

1:58.1

They're best guesses and they can be really, really good.
