Cortex

System for testing of Oxygen Uptake, Carbon Dioxide Output, Breath by Breath Analysis, Telemetry Data Transmission, Indirect Calorimetry, 12-Lead Telemetry ECG, Horse Mask, Windows Software.

There are lab base and protable set available in either breadth-by-breath or mixing chamber

Cardiopulmonary exercise testing for horse is also available. (Metavet)

MetaVet
Key benefits of CPX Testing compared to Lactate Testing

• Non-invasive method increases testing comfort
• Continuous recording of exercise information throughout the test without interrupting at workload changes increases testing efficiency
• Simultaneous measurement of all key exercise parameters with one single test provides complete picture on physical condition/current fitness level
• Online monitoring of the horse's response to exercise throughout the entire test (lab and field)
• Test results are available in real-time and can be analyzed immediately after the test has stopped

MetaMax Portable System
Real World Testing

• Choose from mixing chamber or breath-by-breath technology (MetaMax 3X or 3B)
• Functions independently of a PC for 20 hours, using 8 Mb of onboard memory
• Calibrates quickly for unparalleled accuracy
• Integrates HR via a built-in Polar receiver; optional 3-lead ECG available, as well as stationary 12-lead ECG
• Allows true freedom of movement (only 570g)

Remote Bi-Directional Monitoring and Audio Feedback

• Transmits test data back to the tester or coach
• Informs the athlete of VO2, HR, and RER at regularly-timed intervals
• Sends audio instructions to the athlete through a lightweight earphone

MetaLyzer
Automatic Measurements

• VO2 max
• O2 Kinetics
• Anaerobic Threshold detection based on V-Slope or Ventilatory Equivalents

Zone Trainer Recommendations

Translate personal fitness goals – endurance building, weight loss, etc. – into heart rate training zone recommendations. Exercising within these zones will optimize results

Nutritional Analysis

Measure steady-state energy expenditure and substrate utilization efficiency. Monitoring these measurements shows changes in metabolic efficiency over time and optimizes training regimes.
