Methodology

The measurement,
done right.

Hb-mass is one of the strongest predictors of endurance performance we can measure. It's also easy to measure badly. Our protocol is built for research-grade signal on athletes who can't afford noise.

01

CO-rebreathing

The gold-standard optimized carbon monoxide rebreathing protocol — the same method used in peer-reviewed elite-athlete research.

02

Precision

Typical error under 2%. Small enough to trust an altitude block, a training phase, or a supplementation trial.

03

Repeatability

Same technicians, same instruments, standardized prep. Longitudinal data you can actually compare season to season.

Who it's for

Endurance,
measured at altitude.

Athletes and teams using Flagstaff's 7,000 ft training environment to build the aerobic engine — and the coaches who need to know it's working.
