These are some of the areas Dartfish analyzes:

  • Qualitative and quantitative movement

  • Gait

  • Assessment of muscle imbalance

  • Prevention of injury

  • Performance and fitness testing

  • Bike fitting

  • Movement assessment

Dartfish connects two realities - what you think you're doing, and what you’re actually doing. In recovery, the journey can be a long process. Dartfish is being used to make that process easier.

 Vo2 Max | Metabolic Testing
Zone Heart Rate Training

Imagine a test that could offer you the most comprehensive snapshot of human physiology in just 10 minutes. A test that could scan accurately and non-invasively the health of all essential vital functions including your heart, lungs and cells. In addition, you’d receive all the information needed to build the most personalized nutrition and workout plan comprised of your daily caloric burn, fat and carbohydrate utilization, and training zones thresholds.

This test exists and it’s called cardio-metabolic analysis. It involves testing a person’s oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production at rest and during exercise.

What is cardio-metabolic analysis?

Cardio-metabolic analysis applies to many areas of health and wellness:

  • Sports: Commonly known as VO2 max, it can measure a person’s peak oxygen consumption, prescribe training zones, and determine workout programs.

  • Dietetics: Referred to as metabolic testing in this field, it can assess caloric consumption and fat and carbohydrate oxidation, and provide a foundation for building nutrition plans for weight loss.

  • Medicine: Known as cardio-pulmonary exercise testing, it is the most accurate non-invasive way to detect the presence of cardiovascular disease and identify whether dyspnea and chest pain are due to a heart or lung problem.

Despite its well-established benefits, very few athletes, coaches and health practitioners have access to it, and even fewer know how to fully utilize it. Why? It’s expensive, the equipment is difficult to operate, and it can be hard to understand the raw data.

PNOE changed that through the world’s first portable, affordable and highly accurate metabolic analyzer that allows anyone to effectively implement cardio-metabolic analysis in their gym or practice.

About PNOĒ

PNOĒ has addressed the limitations posed by traditional cardio-metabolic analyzers by creating the first portable, low-cost, affordable, and medical-grade cardio-metabolic analyzer. Its key advantages are:

  • Requires no cumbersome calibration—for those who have experience with cardio-metabolic analyzers, PNOĒ doesn’t require the notorious 3-liter calibration syringe.

  • Begins measuring in less than three minutes and is fully operated through a smartphone that projects real-time cardio-metabolic data.

  • One-hundred percent cloud connected and transmits real-time cardio-metabolic data to the PNOĒ online platform, which can be accessed from anywhere around the world.

  • Accuracy has been validated against clinical gold standard metabolic analyzers.

  • Can be used in the field to assess athletes in the sport and environment they train in, to provide training recommendations that are sport- and environment-specific.

Several high-profile fitness centers, sports teams, and research groups around the world currently use PNOĒ, and its advantages are effectively addressing the problems that have kept cardio-metabolic analysis confined. Athletes and coaches who implement PNOĒ in their training regimens and take cardio-metabolic analysis into real training conditions are now gaining access to a wide spectrum of unique insights and metrics, and reporting substantial changes in performance. From our vantage point, PNOĒ has achieved two big wins: 1) it made cardio-metabolic analysis accessible to the average athlete; and 2) it made cardio-metabolic analysis sport- and environment-specific, consequently rendering its insights directly applicable and far more impactful.

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

Testing-Msk ultrsund2.jpg

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSK Ultrasound) is a dynamic, non-invasive exam that allows high resolution, real-time evaluation of musculoskeletal disorders. It is an excellent complement to MRI and a reliable modality for diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders related to traumatic injury, degeneration and for patients who can’t undergo MRI.

Non-invasive and dynamic imaging is beneficial when range of motion is lost due to acute or chronic injury to major tendons, as well as in pain management and urgent care. Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a unique modality which will enhance patient care.

 

Diagnostic Ultrasound Capabilities

  1. Shoulder examination: evaluation of shoulder pain or dysfunction

  2. Elbow examination: soft tissue injury, tendon pathology (including tendinopathy, enthesopathy and tears), ligament pathology, arthritis, loose bodies, soft tissue masses, nerve entrapment, effusion and bone injury.

  3. Wrist and hand examination: soft tissue injury, tendon pathology (tendinopathy, tenosynovitis and tears), arthritis, soft tissue masses or swelling (including ganglion cysts), nerve entrapment, effusion, foreign bodies and bone injuries.

  4. Hip examination: soft tissue injury, tendon pathology, arthritis, soft tissue masses or swelling, nerve entrapment, effusion and bone injury

  5. Knee examination: soft tissue injury, tendon and collateral ligament pathology, arthritis, soft tissue masses or swelling, loose intra-articular bodies, effusion and bone injury

  6. Ankle and foot examination: soft tissue, tendon and ligament injury, arthritis, soft tissue masses or swelling, intra-articular loose bodies, effusion, bone injury, Morton’s neuroma, plantar fasciitis, stress fracture and foreign bodies

  7. Peripheral nerve examination: compression neuropathies, neuritis, nerve masses, nerve trauma and nerve subluxation

Testing blood Urine stool or salvia can give us information on health, nutrition, disease. This along with physical examination can help determine how healthy you are as an athlete and if your body is properly recovering from training

Ouro Biometric Data Monitoring and Analysis

Monitoring things like sleep, Heart rate, Heart rate variability among others can give me a clue on how you are training and recovering from training. I have used biometric data since 2010 monitoring athletes using older systems in an effort to help athletes understand their bodies and stay at the very top of pushing performance without over training the body.

New tools are developing everyday and I stay on the cutting edge of this technology.

Nutrition Evaluation

Testing-Nutriton.jpg

Nutrition coaching and programming focuses on helping you create an optimal fueling plan to help you meet your  performance goals.

Focusing on the nutrients you take in will help deliver the best fuel to optimize all processes in the body from helping to optimize sleep, improve mood or energy levels, manage stress, change body physique, or perform at your highest level.  I  provide personalized nutrition programs balanced specifically to meet your needs and goals. Supplements if needed are based on your own blood work and or other testing and not based on the latest trends. 

Assessment of your training routines along with your RMR (resting metabolic rate), bloodwork, salvia testing, stool sample, genetic testing and current eating habits allow me to craft a program that suits your sport, while providing accountability, guidance, and oversight to transform you into the best version of yourself. 

I will create a nutrition and fueling program that is easy to consistently follow and is based on your goals and lifestyle.  We know that fueling with the proper nutrition is essential to recovering from injury. 

We also know that proper nutrient fueling and timing is essential in maximizing performance in sport. We can design a performance minded plan to help you gain muscle, decrease fat, and hit your next PR.
