YOPI is changing the way of efficient train, offering more scientific physiology parameters, while looking after your cardiovascular health
During cardiovascular endurance (aerobic fitness) the body requires to produce movement energy. Therefor, the body need to deliver Oxygen to your muscles, which allows them to do work to perform this activity.
The lungs take in Oxygen from the air we breathe, where it gets perfused into the bloodstream; the heart and blood vessels deliver it to the working muscles; and the skeletal muscles utilize that Oxygen to execute muscular contractions and produce work.
A cardiovascular assessment is a good tool to measure the efficiency of the aforementioned physiological functions.
YOPI offers better understanding the scientific background of aerobic fitness and employing reliable measurement tools, individuals can tailor their training programs to improve their fitness level and optimize their overall health and well-being.
YOPI device is the only device that measure your online VO₂ and your
VO₂MAX in the field without a mask based on minerals in your sweat.

YOPI measures on-line Oxygen Consumption VO₂ and VO₂Max
Oxygen consumption VO₂ regards by sport cardiologists as the best parameter to determine cardiovascular fitness. It is an index of the body’s efficiency at producing work. It is expressed in milliliters of Oxygen consumed per minute, adjusted by body weight in kilograms (ml/kg/min).
Numerous factors can influence VO₂, including heredity, fitness, age, gender, and body composition. Generally, VO₂ declines with age. Generally, males have a higher Oxygen consumption value than females. Nonetheless, a higher VO₂ allows a greater energy production and increases work capacity.
The Maximal Oxygen uptake VO2max, is a cornerstone metric in exercise physiology, offering a window into the body’s machinery for producing work. It represents the maximal rate at which the body can utilize Oxygen during intense physical activity, essentially measuring the efficiency of the body’s “engine”.
YOPI is the only device offering your Respiratory Exchange Ratio (RER) on-line
The respiratory exchange ratio (RER) is the ratio between the metabolic production of carbon dioxide (VCO₂) divide by the of Oxygen uptake (VO₂).
The ratio is used for estimating the respiratory quotient (RQ), an indicator of which fuel, carbohydrate, fat and protein is being metabolized to supply the body with energy.
Your body’s energy source monitoring systems
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the molecule that allows your body to use and store energy. It is often described as your body’s “energy currency.” Without it, you aren’t able to create or use energy for activity, metabolism, or brain function.
During most fitness activities your body primarily uses the oxidative system to produce ATP/
Your body has 3 main systems to produce ATP: the phosphagen system, the glycolytic system, and the oxidative system.

YOPI tell you on-line which system you primarily use according to your activity intensity, either carbs, fat and protein Carbohydrates usage
Producing energy from carbohydrates is the most efficient way the body produces energy for fitness training.
YOPI determines the momentarily and total amount of energy produced from Carbohydrates in calories and grams and informs in real time about the right time to renew the Carbohydrate reservoir for long-distance trainers.
Fat usage
Producing energy from Fats is depend on the amount of oxygen consumption and usually occur at RER of 0.7.
YOPI determines the momentarily and total amount of energy produce from Fats in calories and grams and inform in realtime.
Protein usage
Producing energy from Protein occur at RER of 0.8 and above, usually about 5-10% of the total energy during fitness training comes from Protein.
YOPI determines the momentarily and total amount of energy produce from Proteins in calories and grams and inform in realtime and in the end of each training session which give the trainee the idea how much protein to consume in order to assist to renew the muscles needs.
Total Calories Usage
YOPI determines the momentarily and real total amount of energy produce from all source in calories and grams and inform in realtime and in the end of each training section.
YOPI knows that to train more scientifically you have to know
your Anaerobic Threshold (AT)
The Anaerobic Threshold (AT) is the exertion level between aerobic and anaerobic training. The AT is the point during exercise when your body must switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism. The AT is a useful measure for deciding exercise intensity for training and racing in endurance sports.
Anaerobic Threshold is the point at which the Oxygen demand of the muscles exceeds the ability of the cardiopulmonary system to supply Oxygen.
During anaerobic metabolism, the body burns stored sugars to supply the additional energy needed, and lactic acid is produced faster than it can be evicted by the blood stream. Muscle pain, burning and fatigue make anaerobic energy expenditure difficult to sustain for longer than a few minutes.
Effort
Effort is a new parameter developed by YOPI physiology team to determining on-line the trainer training efficiency on-line and recommend accordingly.
Your Health and VO₂ & VO₂max
To understand the importance of Vo₂ to health think of the human body as a car, VO₂ represents the size of the car’s engine. The larger the engine, the higher the maximal horsepower and higher the potential for performance is. During everyday activities, a larger engine will hardly ever be maxed out but if that engine gets too small, like in the case of cardiovascular, metabolic, or muscular degenerative diseases, completing simple tasks like walking from the couch to the kitchen will cause the engine to redline which is only sustainable for a short amount of time.
More specifically, cardiologists’ researches showed that VO2 and VO₂max are the best predictors of all-cause mortality (risk of dying). People whose their VO₂max falls below 27 ml/kg/min have a 40% higher probability of mortality than those with values greater than 27 ml/kg/min (Blair et al. 2009).
YOPI 's application looks after changes in your VO₂ and VO₂max in real-time and inform on irregular changes.
Gas exchange (VO2 & VCO2) Lab-based monitoring equipment and other wearable VO2 measurements devices are using an impractical mask, therefor are not useful for everyday fitness activities.
