In modern sports, the effectiveness of training is increasingly determined not only by the experience of the coach and the feeling of the athlete, but also by objective data. Heart rate, pace, power have already become familiar metrics. But the real work takes place in the muscle. Train.Red sensors  show in real time what is happening in the muscle during each performed sports exercise. Let’s take a closer look.

How Train.Red sensors work

The Train.Red sensor is a compact optical sensor that, thanks to the specially built-in NIRS (Near InfraRed Spectroscopy) technology, allows you to monitor the condition of the muscles during exercise. The sensor is put on the body, namely on the muscle that works during exercise, using an elastic mount.

What indicators do sensors measure:

• O₂Hb is hemoglobin bound to oxygen (how much oxygen the muscle receives);
• HHb — hemoglobin without oxygen (how much oxygen has already been given to the tissues);
• tHb is the total amount of hemoglobin in the capillaries (conditionally, the volume of blood in the measurement area);
• TSI is the index of tissue oxygen saturation as a percentage.

Thus, the device records changes in the level of oxygen saturation in muscle tissue in real time.

There are two models of Train.Red sensors:

●     Train.Red FYER 2.0 is suitable for daily training. It generally analyzes muscle oxygen levels and transmits data to the app. Suitable for athletes, amateurs and coaches who work with athletes every day.

●     Train.Red Plus is an advanced version for those who need deeper analytics. The sensor reads data at several depths of muscle tissue and works at a higher frequency, so it is suitable for professional athletes, sports laboratories and teams that build the training process on accurate measurements.

In addition to the sensor itself, you get access to the Train.Red app, where all data is automatically saved and synchronized. This allows you to compare training patterns with each other, track progress in dynamics, and make decisions based on real measurements, not just your own feelings.

Benefits of using sensors

Train.Red is a reliable assistant that allows you to get the most out of your workouts. Let’s take a look at the key advantages of the sensor in action.

Muscle control. The sensors measure the level of oxygen in the muscle tissue and translate it into easy-to-understand indicators: Muscle States and Muscle Stress Score. You can see how intensively a particular muscle works in each approach and at what stage it goes into difficult, almost anaerobic conditions.

The ability to optimize the training program. Thanks to tests and detailed reports in the Train.Red app, a coach or athlete can create individual training programs, adjust the volume and intensity of work to the real muscle response. The system shows the muscle profile: endurance, efficiency, power, and recovery ability, which helps to plan the load more accurately.

Increasing muscle efficiency. According to the graphs and muscle states, you can track the moment when there is no longer enough oxygen and the muscle works in the anaerobic zone, which provokes fatigue. Such control helps to balance aerobic and anaerobic exercise, adjust the pace and intervals so as to maintain the optimal pace of training without losing efficiency.

Planning for effective recovery. Train.Red determines the level of accumulated fatigue. In this way, you avoid overload and injury, and you can also plan your recovery after training so that each subsequent one is as effective as possible.

Data from sensors helps to make the training process more manageable and understandable. You see the real load indicators and can adjust the program in time, train without overloads and with a clear understanding of your own condition.

If you train regularly, prepare for starts, or work with athletes as a coach, choose the Train.Red sensor model that suits your tasks and integrate analytics into your training process right now.
