Yesterday I got my hands on the new BSXInsight XR2 bloodless lactic threshold measurment device. I took it out for a test run (pun intended) and here is what I found. What is the BSXInsight? It is basically a small device that goes into a sleeve you wear on our calf. The device emits light into the skin, which allows it to read the oxygen content of your muscles without having to take blood samples. It’s basically the same technology they use to get your pulse02 when you go to the doctor’s office. Once you pair it up with your smart phone, in my case my iPhone and your ANT-based heart rate monitor and/or footpod, you can see real-time metrics including muscle oxygenation, heart rate and pace using the free phone app.
