Step 1. Find your limiting factor
PNOĒ provides the gold standard in analysing oxygen flow through your body and identifying your limiting factors.
Oxygen is the “performance” molecule as it’s the necessary element cells need to produce the energy to move. Four systems participate in oxygen utilisation by your cells: The lungs, heart, bloodstream, and cells.
By analysing the oxygen flow through these systems, you can determine the most critical blockers of your performance.
Step 2. Get the optimal training breakdown
By identifying your limitations, PNOĒ recommends the optimal training breakdown that addresses them.
Depending on which system(s) is facing a problem, the workout program you need to follow differs as each type of training remedies a different limitation.
Resistance training It includes various types of weight lifting, and its main effect is to improve joint and muscle strength.
Cardio training It includes continuous cardio (e.g., running or cycling) exercise in Zone 2. Its main effect is that it trains your cells in burning fat, promotes recovery, and enhances endurance in all types of training.
Interval Training It includes cardio that transitions between Zone 3, 4, and 5. Its main effects are improving fat burn efficiency and heart and lung fitness.
Step 3. Get the most out of your training zones
PNOĒ provides the gold standard in measuring fat and carb burn during exercise and determining your actual training zones.
The percentage of carbohydrates and fats used throughout the day and during the training can vary vastly from person to person.
The way your body transitions between fats and carbs as training intensity increases defines your training zones. As a result, training zones are highly personalised.
Spending the right amount of time in the correct training zone is vital for affecting the desirable effects on your biology. For example, Zone 2 training will improve fat-burning efficiency. Training zones calculated by wearables and equations can be up to 50% off compared to your real ones.
Step 4. Optimise your pre, during and post workout fueling
PNOĒ provides the gold standard in measuring the number of fats and carbs your body burns at rest and during training and recommends the optimal pre-, during, and post-workout available only with the nutrition plan.
The number of carbohydrates and fats used during the day and training can vary vastly from person to person. This is because each person’s metabolism is very different.
By knowing your fat and carb intake needs, you can develop a nutrition strategy that will:
- Ensure adequate fuel and energy
- Prevent blood sugar spikes and dips
- Make your cells more fat-adapted.
Step 5. Meal timing
PNOĒ’s personalised nutrition plan considers all scientifically backed guidelines for maximising your performance. You’ll know how to schedule your meals, macros, calories, and micronutrients.
The timing of food is as important as the calories, macros, and micros you consume. Optimal meal timing can:
- Improve energy levels and focus
- Increase fat burn throughout the day
- Maximise muscle development
- Maximise recovery during sleep
Adhering to the rules of optimal meal timing is easy as long as you have a plan.
Final step Prevent metabolic slowdown
The PNOĒ device identifies deficiencies in critical areas of your body, including the lungs, heart, and metabolism. Our registered dietitians then use this information to craft a nutrition plan with the micros based on your deficiencies.
Micronutrients are potent compounds that play vital roles in our body, such as:
- Support the immune system
- Improve digestion
- Improve our mood
- Improve recovery
- Improve heart and lung function and
- many more
They include vitamins, minerals and other substances and can be found in specific food items and supplements.
The dose that’s optimal for you depends on your body’s deficiencies.

PNOĒ Performance is a comprehensive metabolic analysis that measures your body’s response to exercise, providing personalised insights to optimise performance, endurance, and recovery.
PNOĒ uses a cutting-edge device that analyses your breath during exercise to assess factors like oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production, providing detailed data on your metabolic efficiency.
The test provides insights into your metabolic zones, VO2 max, anaerobic threshold, and overall fitness levels, helping you tailor your training to improve endurance and performance.
No, PNOĒ Performance is for anyone looking to optimise their fitness, whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or someone simply interested in improving your health and performance.
The test typically takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the protocol and fitness level of the individual.
Not at all! PNOĒ is designed for individuals at any fitness level, from beginners to elite athletes. The test adjusts to your abilities and provides personalised insights accordingly.
You should wear comfortable athletic wear that allows for easy movement, as the test is done while exercising.
No, the test is non-invasive. It involves wearing a mask that measures your breath while you perform exercise on a treadmill, bike, or other equipment.
It depends on your goals, but generally, it's recommended to test every 3-6 months to track progress, adjust training plans, and make sure you're improving toward your goals.
By understanding your metabolic data, you can make data-driven adjustments to your training, optimise your exercise intensity, improve endurance, and recover more effectively, leading to better overall performance.
