PNOĒ RMR & Active VO2
Breath-by-breath cardiopulmonary analysis — the same category of testing used by Olympic and professional programs — delivered in a fight-camp context.
What it measures
- Resting metabolic rate (RMR): your true caloric burn at rest — the honest baseline for camp nutrition and weight cuts.
- VO2 max: peak aerobic capacity, expressed in ml/kg/min and percentile against combat-sport norms.
- Ventilatory thresholds VT1 & VT2: the heart-rate and power zones where you shift from aerobic to lactate to anaerobic.
- Fuel utilization: the exact fat-vs-carbohydrate mix your body burns at every intensity zone.
- Cardiorespiratory efficiency: breathing economy, oxygen pulse, and recovery slope after peak effort.
Why it matters for fighters
- Match conditioning zones to your actual thresholds — not generic percent-of-max estimates.
- Fix the two biggest camp mistakes: over-training in no-man’s land and under-fueling the fat-burning zone.
- Retest mid-camp to prove the work is landing — or catch a plateau before fight week.
- Anchor the weight cut to RMR data instead of guesswork — fewer crashes, more energy at weigh-in.
