However, achieving the ‘gold standard’ with CPET (Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test) comes with its challenges.

Taking a CPET (Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test) involves booking appointments at hospitals or research facilities, enduring expensive tests, and dealing with bulky equipment. Plus, improving your running mechanics often requires costly personal trainers.

 

 

Traditional CPET (Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing) centers offer precise diagnostics for exercise abilities. However, a single test can cost up to $230 and require appointment scheduling. Limited availability may necessitate taking time off work, with added commuting burdens and discomfort from bulky equipment.

In contrast, investing in PACER offers unlimited CPET tests at a comparable cost, revolutionizing your training and testing paradigm to enhance your fitness expertise.

The PACER revolutionizes CPET (Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing), allowing you the freedom to conduct tests wherever you are. This advanced device analyzes over 20 types of biometric data to determine your Running Economy, VO₂ Max, and Lactate Threshold—metrics previously inaccessible with conventional wearables, such as watches, bracelets, and rings.

Get professional-level testing with the PACER mask just once a month, and receive real-time insights about your running through AI-guidance via earphones during regular runs.

The PACER sets the standard for precision with its professional-grade accuracy, surpassing conventional analysis wearables.

With PACER, the analysis extends beyond traditional metrics to determine your optimal training speed, minimizing the risk of injuries.

PACER analyzes the user’s key physiological data in real-time through built-in sensors such as flow sensors, photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors.

• The flow sensor examines parameters like breathing volume, rhythm, and pattern.
• The PPG sensor detects the user’s heart rate from blood vessels on the facial skin.
• The IMU sensor acquires acceleration and direction data to estimate six core running posture metrics, including cadence and vertical oscillation, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of running safety.

[ MOBILE ]
The PACER syncs with the smartphone app to acquire GPS data and user information. The GPS data aids in real-time analysis of speed, distance, and route, while user information such as height, weight, age, and gender serves as reference data for precise analysis.

Leveraging over 20 types of data, PACER’s algorithm deeply analyzes aerobic capacity:

• It quantifies the maximum exercise capacity a user can achieve, known as Maximum Oxygen Consumption (VO₂max).
• It calculates the Lactate Threshold based on patterns of oxygen intake and carbon dioxide production and minute ventilation, indicating the user’s fatigue resistance.
• It assesses Running Economy by tracking changes in energy consumption during exercise, revealing how efficiently the user runs.
• Finally, it computes the user’s maximum speed based on stability levels and injury prevention through analysis of six running Posture Stability metrics.

Professional athletes meticulously evaluate their performance and physical condition using these 4 key criteria, allowing them to strategize and set specific plans for growth.
