Moxy5 uses Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure oxygen levels in muscles. Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen; it changes color depending on whether it is carrying oxygen or not. Near-Infrared light generated by the Sensor travels from the emitter through the skin to interact with the muscle, after which the light is scattered back to the detectors in the Sensor. The Moxy Algorithm uses the information from the light striking the detectors to determine the Muscle Oxygen Saturation.
Muscle Oxygen Monitoring can be used to determine optimal training zones, to monitor training intensity, and to set an optimal race pace.
