Train smarter

The Sapiens exercise physiology experts support professional athletes and aspirational amateuer athletes with busy jobs by quantifying fitness, training strain, and recovery biology in one report. We measure VO2max (with an at-home seismography device), offer comprehensive at-home fitness and mobility assessments and key stress markers, including the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio, which is widely used as an indicator of physiological strain and anabolic–catabolic balance in response to training load (Urhausen and Kindermann, 2002). Chronic cortisol elevation matters because glucocorticoids can reduce muscle protein synthesis and promote a more catabolic state, which can impair long-term adaptation when recovery is insufficient (Braun, 2015; Jiménez-Amilburu et al., 2015).

With medical-grade recovery analytics and expert coaching (including exercise physiology backgrounds), we help athletes adjust load management, recovery timing, and training sequencing to improve performance without overtraining while performing in a demanding job (Meeusen et al., 2013).
