The PNOĒ Metabolic Breath Analysis & VO2 Max testing measures several key physiological parameters to assess aerobic fitness and metabolism:

VO2 Max: This is the primary measurement and refers to the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. It’s a key indicator of cardiovascular fitness and aerobic endurance. Aerobic and Anaerobic Thresholds: The test identifies your aerobic threshold (the point where your body switches from burning mostly fat to carbohydrates) and anaerobic threshold (the point where lactate starts to accumulate in the blood).

Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR): It measures the amount of calories your body burns at rest, which is vital for understanding your overall metabolism. Fat and Carbohydrate Utilization: The test determines the ratio of fats to carbohydrates your body burns during different exercise intensities, which can inform dietary and training strategies.

Breathing Patterns and Efficiency: It assesses your breathing efficiency and patterns, which can influence athletic performance and overall respiratory health.

Heart Rate Zones: The test helps establish heart rate zones for different training intensities, tailored to your personal fitness level.

By measuring these factors, PNOĒ Metabolic Breath Analysis & VO2 Max testing provides comprehensive insights into your physical fitness, metabolic health, and helps in creating personalized training and nutrition plans.
