How can your breath
know it all?

Every number in a neumafit report is grounded in science.
Here's how 10 minutes of breathing data becomes your own training prescription.

Read the breath,
and the metabolism appears.

The answer is in your breath. By measuring the oxygen (O₂) you inhale and the carbon dioxide (CO₂) you exhale in real time, we can work out which fuel your body is burning right now.

Add heart-rate data, and those metabolic shifts map onto your own heart-rate zones (Z1–Z5). It's the same principle as the CPET exercise test used in hospitals.

The mask captures every breath,
the monitor records the heart's rhythm.

What is RER?

It's your body's fuel gauge. CO₂ output ÷ O₂ consumption. A lower ratio means you're burning fat; closer to 1.0 means carbohydrates. Every metabolic metric in neumafit starts from this value.

The heart of the report: two curves

A 10-minute test answers two questions about your body.

“What do you burn to run” is answered by the metabolic curve; “how far does the engine hold” by the cardiopulmonary curve. Both curves are drawn from a single set of breath data.

Curve One

What do you burn to run?
Fat & carbohydrate metabolic curve

As speed rises, how much fat and carbohydrate your body burns is written directly in your breath. Connecting those values by speed draws the metabolic curve.

What this curve tells you

Fat-centered training builds your body's ‘fuel economy’.

A comfortable intensity that uses fat as the main fuel. Your aerobic base, fat loss, and endurance grow here. Slow jogging and LSD long runs live in this zone.

Carb-centered training builds your body's ‘peak output’.

A high intensity that uses carbohydrate as the main fuel. Speed and maximal cardiopulmonary capacity (VO₂max) grow here. Intervals and tempo runs live in this zone. Held too long it can bring a ‘bonk’ and fatigue, so keep it short and hard and recover fully.

Neither is good nor bad. It only shifts in ratio between the two zones depending on your goal — which is why knowing where your body's turning point lies is what matters.

Curve Two

How far can the engine hold?
The VO₂max cardio curve

Over the same 10 minutes, how much oxygen you used (VO₂) and how much CO₂ you exhaled (VCO₂) are recorded too. These two lines hold every marker of cardiopulmonary capacity.

Lactate Threshold

(approx. 9.6 km/h)

What this curve tells you

Know the ceiling and your training goal comes into view.

VO₂max is the current size of your engine. Knowing where the ceiling sits tells you how far to push interval intensity and roughly where the upper bound of your records lies.

Know the limit line and your pace strategy comes into view.

The lactate-threshold pace is the ‘fastest speed you can sustain.’ Race pace, tempo-run intensity, and the safe line for long runs are all set from this line.

The ceiling and the limit line. Know these two coordinates and ‘how hard, how long’ is set by numbers rather than feel.

It doesn't end at measurement.

Frequently asked questions

The measurement principle is the same. neumafit automates that test into a 10-minute self-guided test with no specialist required, and turns the results into a report and exercise prescription anyone can understand.

A smartwatch estimates VO₂max from heart rate and pace. neumafit measures respiratory gases directly. Estimates can vary widely, whereas direct measurement is the same method used in clinical testing.

When lactate builds up, your breathing pattern changes in a characteristic way. We analyze that change precisely to locate the threshold point without drawing blood — an established method in sports science.

It uses a graded, incremental-load protocol, so the full range of metabolic change from low to maximal intensity is recorded within those 10 minutes.

We compare your measured VO₂max against reference data for the same sex and age group to convert it into the age your cardiorespiratory fitness corresponds to.

Yes. Clients run the test themselves following the system's guidance, and the report is generated automatically. We provide operational training at rollout.

A treadmill and a small amount of space are enough. You can find the equipment makeup and installation details on the rollout page.

The report is the consultation material. You can walk through a client's metabolic curve together to explain "why they should train this way" with data, and the 6–8 week re-measurement becomes a natural return touchpoint.

It runs in four steps: inquiry → detailed guidance → installation and operational training → complimentary ongoing support.
