- How do I setup integrations with other fitness providers?
To setup integrations (Strava, Peloton, etc.), login into the NNOXX High Performance Platform (HPP) and click on the User profile dropdown in the upper right-hand corner. Select the Integrations option and click on Connect to go through the steps to connect to each provider.
- Are the fitness provider integrations bi-directional?
The fitness providers integrations (Strava, Peloton, etc.) are a one-way integration. Once configured, NNOXX will pull data from the providers and display it within the NNOXX High Performance Platform.
- What can the NNOXX One device monitor?
The NNOXX One device measures muscle oxygenation and nitric oxide levels. In addition, the NNOXX One High Performance Platform (HPP) also measures Oxygen Consumption/mVO2, Internal Training Load (ITL), acceleration, and skin temperature.
- How long does NNOXX One take to calibrate to my NO levels?
NNOXX One calibrates instantly to start tracking your NO levels during your workout.
- What are the benefits of measuring nitric oxide (NO) and muscle oxygenation (SmO2)?
Exercise works by increasing nitric oxide (NO) levels in your body, widening your blood vessels and improving blood flow to your heart, brain, and muscles. Muscle oxygenation (SmO2) is the level of oxygen in muscles, and the best indicator of exercise intensity. Together, NO and SmO2 are the best way to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of your workout. With NNOXX One, you finally have a way to ensure you are making the most of your workout.
- How is monitoring nitric oxide different than monitoring VO2?
VO2 is a measure of the total amount of oxygen used by the body for fuel. Nitric oxide is the main regulator of blood flow and oxygen delivery to working muscles. Thus, increases in nitric oxide are a driver of increased VO2. NNOXX One also measures muscle oxygenation (SmO2), which, unlike VO2, measures the amount of oxygen delivered to muscle tissue and provides valuable insight into how muscles are functioning. Nitric oxide and SmO2 give athletes an indicator of when they need to rest or reduce their exercise intensity to prevent fatigue and maintain performance. VO2, however, measures total body oxygen use and does not directly quantify muscle performance and fatigue.
- Do nitric oxide levels go down after exercise or is there a continual increase at rest as well?
Nitric oxide levels increase during exercise and go down during rest. The rate and magnitude of these respective increases/decreases will depend on a number of factors including the type of exercise performed, the intensity of exercise, and fitness level of the user.
- How soon should someone expect to see results?
If users follow guidance provided as part of the NNOXX One platform, they should be able to see an increase in their nitric oxide levels during even the first exercise, as it is dynamic. The key to ongoing and consistent improvement is ongoing and consistent use.
- Is NNOXX One beneficial for shorter time duration modalities?
NNOXX One measurements are instantaneous so as soon as you begin your workout, you’ll see oxygen being utilized in the working muscles and you could use this to guide your pacing in real time or use this to pace your strength and conditioning.
- Are there are certain types of exercises that are best for using NNOXX One?
You can use NNOXX for any form of exercise from endurance training to strength training. Because the NNOXX One device is not waterproof, it should not be used while swimming.
- If you are working out and increasing your nitric oxide levels, should you stop taking supplements?
We recommend that users speak with their physician regarding the use of supplements and before making changes to a supplement routine.
- Does the amount of body fat change measurements?
Adipose tissue may eventually come into play since it's an optical measurement. However, our findings indicate that the measurements aren't affected by body fat within the wide range we've tested.
- Can NNOXX One identify occluding?
You can tell if someone is occluding based on their muscle oxygenation trends which NNOXX One measures faster than any other device on the market.
- How does NNOXX One get readings?
Through unique biosensors, NNOXX One can measure someone’s muscle oxygenation and nitric oxide levels when it is placed on a muscle group like a leg or arm.
- What is a normal resting muscle oxygenation (SmO2) level?
Resting muscle oxygenation varies among individuals and is influenced by factors such as the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) and temperature in the muscle being monitored. Under normal conditions at average muscle temperatures, the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in skeletal muscle is around 40 mmHg. Consequently, most people will exhibit resting muscle oxygenation (SmO2) values between 50-70%.
- How is NNOXX’s Readiness Score different from scores on other fitness apps?
Unlike readiness and recovery scores from other fitness apps, NNOXX looks at your current physiological function to provide the most accurate prediction available for your immediate exercise activity.
- Why is the Readiness Assessment important?
NNOXX is capable of untangling aerobic system and local muscle recovery, providing two separate readiness scores, that when combined can be used to generate more meaningful feedback for adjusting your workouts.
