Moxy Muscle Oxygen Sensors provide continuous measurement, or monitoring, of the oxygen saturation (SmO²) levels in the muscle tissue of athletes. Moxy's accurate, real time measurements are fundamental to athletic performance. Oxygen is the fuel that drives the muscles, and muscle oxygen levels are constantly changing with exercise intensity.

Moxy Muscle Oxygen Monitoring utilizes a technology called Near-Infrared Spectroscopy which essentially shows the percentage of hemoglobin and myoglobin molecules that are carrying oxygen by taking optical measurements at different wavelengths (it is a similar technology used in some hand held Blood Chemistry Analysers). 

The Moxy Muscle Oxygen Sensors are used worldwide by Elite Athletes; Coaches & Universities for the following measurements:

• Intensity - Moxy offers a better gauge of physiologic training intensity for an athlete than external measurements like pace or power because Moxy measures the intensity that the body is actually experiencing rather than just the mechanical output intensity.
• Duration - Moxy guides training duration more accurately than just relying on a fixed time. A weight lifter could continue doing reps until their SmO2 reaches a low plateau and then stop for recovery. In this way, Moxy can help inform the optimal amount of reps that should be performed at different points in a work out.
• Recovery - Moxy guides recovery during a workout. A hockey player could perform an interval training-like drill where they waited after each interval until their SmO2 recovered to a certain level before starting the next interval. If they fail to recover to the target level than the interval session could be over.

*Moxy is compatible and can integrate with VO2 Analysers such as the VO2 Master Pro; Fitmate Pro; COSMED K5 & Korr Systems.
