The Future Of Metabolic Testing

Q-NRG Max for VO2 Max

VO2 Max, or maximal oxygen uptake, is a measure of the body's ability to transport and use oxygen during exercise. It is an important indicator of cardiovascular fitness and overall health. A higher VO2 Max means that the body is able to deliver more oxygen to the muscles, which in turn allows for greater endurance and performance during physical activity.

With Q-NRG Max you can setup a maximal test in minutes; select the most appropriate protocol available in the list or create a new one. Prepare the subject by selecting the right mask and start collecting data. Q-NRG Max displays charts and parameters in real time, additional information can be entered during testing (RPE, Lactate, etc.).

At the end of a test, the system displays charts and tools to set the key parameters (Peak VO2 Max, Thresholds, FATMAX etc.).

Key Features of Metabolic Testing

  • True Aerobic Capacity

    The Q-NRG Max, based on gas exchange, provides the true aerobic capacity (VO2max) and an extensive CPET analysis in addition to conventional heart rate measurements, thus enabling the tailoring of training programmes based on individual needs.

  • Individual Assessment

    Q-NRG Max uses Indirect Calorimetry to assess metabolism. Test results faithfully represent patients' metabolic status providing precious indications on the fitness status or response to nutrition plans.

  • Comprehensive Analysis

    Q-NRG Max is designed to provide a comprehensive analysis, from substrates utilization to maximal and sub-maximal excercise testing, with a validated technology and best-in-class gas analysers, meeting the highest standards of metabolic assessment.
