Reaching your performance goals

The PNOĒ Active Metabolic Test measures how your body uses oxygen and energy during rest and exercise. By analyzing the air you breathe in and out, the test shows how many calories you burn, how efficiently your body produces energy, and whether you rely more on fat or carbohydrates for fuel. No matter your starting point, this test gives you a clear physiological snapshot to build smarter training and eating habits.

The PNOĒ Active Metabolic Test (AMR) is a cutting-edge assessment that measures:

  • Oxygen consumption (VO₂)
  • Carbon dioxide production
  • Metabolic rate during exercise
  • Substrate utilization (fat vs. carbohydrate burning)

The PNOĒ Active Metabolic Test uses a proven scientific method called indirect calorimetry, the test tracks oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production in real time. Using the industry-leading PNOĒ metabolic analyzer, we capture metrics while you walk or run on a treadmill — creating a personalized profile of how your metabolism performs under stress. This allows us to determine your metabolic rate, energy expenditure, and fuel usage across different levels of physical effort—from complete rest to intense activity.

Because the test collects continuous data while your body is under different demands, it reveals how adaptable your metabolism is when stressed. This insight helps identify strengths, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement. The result is a highly personalized picture of how your body functions, which is used to guide smarter training.

Who Can Benefit?
