Maybe some of you read about the whole topic of remote metabolic testing lately. At the moment there are only very few companies who offer a test procedure that feeds into some algorithm that can calculate your VO2max, VLamax, thresholds, fatmax and so on. If you’re aware of that topic you probably …

I think this would be a great service if operational and I am pretty sure people would pay $10 for it once it is established (good reviews, some example data for comparison). I would do so myself because I am interested in these numbers, but simply can’t justify paying $180 for INSCYD’s PPD when th…

I’ve seen the data and compared against Inscyd and it’s spot on!

As I already mentioned in our messages, I would definitely be interested in this and would happily pay 10 Euros each time to run my data through your algorithm!

I would be interesting with this type of test! It’s great idea and 10euro/usd is not too much for the product. I’m in :slight_smile: !

What do you expect from the result when you know the metabolism based from VO2max, VLamax, thresholds, fatmax and so on? The metabolism cannot be changed so quickly, you have to see how you eat throughout the day in order to control fat burning or carb burning. I’ve been experimenting with Lumen …

If you know what metabolic path is used in different zones you can adjust your training to it. You can target specific energy system better. Yes, it takes time to change it but it is what it is - your body needs time to adapt to the training. After a few lab tests I know that I need to work on my fa…

interesting, with Lumen i know arround 30-45mins (when i do the measurement) after my Training if i am back on fat burning or not, when i am on fat burning before the training i know, i need some fast carbs (Lumen knows how much carbs, depends on the duration of the training)

I don’t know what Lumen is, I have to check it. What I’m talking about is test energy systems during an exercise/stress test. You can check how much fat/carbohydrates you use in different zones. The goal is to use fat as long as possible to use carbohydrates when you really need it during the race. …

Yes, @bolton summed up the whole idea behind it quite nicely. The goal of metabolic testing is to properly inform you about the underlying physiology. Something that a 20min or ramp test simply cannot provide that easily. The model is based on Maders’ work on muscle glycolysis. For example some of…
