Internal Training Load Measurement with Muscle Oxygenation

A recent finding in our research with Moxy muscle oxygenation was looking at the reliability & repeatability of muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) compared to heart rate for a typical high intensity interval workout. We had a group of well-trained male subjects (VO2max > 60 ml/kg/min) perform a series of 4x4min high intensity

Speculating on Physiology in the Lab vs on the Road

For this experiment we wanted to look at physiological response to the same workout in the LAB vs in the FIELD. It's fascinating! There are a lot of conflicting and equivocal findings, ultimately suggesting that there is a high degree of individual variability in how each of us produce power across modalities and conditions.

My name is Jem Arnold

I write about physiology and endurance training optimisation.

I'm a PhD candidate in exercise physiology, physiotherapist, and endurance coach / consultant.

I try to integrate ideas from the perspectives of an athlete, performance specialist, clinician, researcher, and especially as a curious enthusiast who just wants to learn from the smartest people in the room.

Everything written is my own inexpert opinion. Any good ideas should be attributed to the many smart people I have learned from. Any bad ideas are due to my own temporary misunderstanding. My current opinions will most certainly change as I continue to learn. Nothing I write should be taken as professional advice.
