Muscle Oxygen Monitoring
Moxy uses Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure oxygen levels in muscle.
Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen; it changes color
depending on whether it is carrying oxygen or not. Near-Infrared light generated
by the Sensor travels from the emitter through the skin to interact with the
muscle, after which the light is scattered back to the detectors in the Sensor. The
Moxy Algorithm uses the information from the light striking the detectors to
determine the Muscle Oxygen Saturation.
The terms Muscle Oxygen Saturation, Muscle Oxygenation, and Muscle Oxygen
are the abbreviation, SmO2 are used interchangeably. SmO2is the percentage of
hemoglobin in the capillaries of the muscle that is carrying Oxygen. The number
can be from 0 to 100%. Total hemoglobin, THb, is a relative measure of the
amount of hemoglobin in the optical path of the sensor
Muscle Oxygenation is a localized measurement. Even muscles that are close to
each other, such as the Rectus Femoris and the Vastus Lateralis in the Quadriceps
group, can have different values. Contralateral muscles may also have different
readings.
Muscle Oxygen Monitoring can be used to determine optimal training zones, to
monitor training intensity, and to set an optimal race pace. Refer to the Moxy
website at www.moxymonitor.com for more information.

The Moxy sensor has a multi-color indicator LED to the upper left of the
power button. Note that the similar black circle on to the upper right of
the power button is a vent and does not illuminate. The following table

Wireless Charger
The Moxy 5 uses a Qi format wireless charging system. It is
recommended to use the charger that is shipped with the system or a Qi
Certified Charger. Non-certified chargers may not have all the safety
features implemented such as Foreign Object Detection. Other chargers
may also interfere with the light shield.
Place the sensor with the Optodes toward the charger. The light shield
has a relief that fits around the outside of the charger to keep the sensor
centered. If the light shield is not installed, the sensor should be placed in
the center of the charger.
The Charger disk has a Red and Blue Indicator LED. The following chart
shows the function of these indicators.
The charger may occasionally return to charging after the charges is
completed to top off the battery. The Moxy sensor and the charger
disable charging when the battery is full so there is no harm in leaving the
sensor on the charger after it is full.

6
Moxy Sensor Settings
The sensor settings can be adjusted using the Moxy Sensor Settings App.
This app can be run on Windows, Android, and Mac devices. At this point,
it does not run on iOS devices. You can access the App at
www.moxymonitor.com\settings-app
You MUST access the Sensor Setting App using the browser indicated on
the web page for your device’s platform to connect to the sensor via
Bluetooth.
If the sensor is set in ANT+ broadcast mode, it will still advertise in
Bluetooth mode for the first 10 seconds that it is turned on. You must
connect to the Settings App during this 10 second window. If you miss the
window, turn the sensor off and back on to try again.
Settings and Features
Time: This allows the stored data time stamps to be set correctly. A hard
reset or a completely dead battery on the sensor will cause it to lose its
time setting.
Broadcast Mode: The primary broadcastmodes are ANT+ MO2 Profile and
Bluetooth.
Update Rate: The Moxy sensor has 4 update rate modes
•Default: Updates every 2 seconds with 10 second Smoothing
•No Smooth: Updates every 2 seconds with No Smoothing
•Low Power: Same as Default except fewer LED cycles are used to
save power
•High Speed: Updates every 0.5 seconds with No Smoothing

Moxy Sensor Settings
Battery Charge Level Indicator: Shows the charge status of the battery.
Versions: Shows the sensor firmware and lookup table versions
Download Stored Data: All measurements are broadcast over ANT+ or
Bluetooth and a copy of all measurement is also stored on the sensor. The
stored data is downloaded and saved to a Dropbox folder using this app. If
you don’t already have a Dropbox account, you can sign up for one at
www.dropbox.com
Firmware Updates: This allows you to install the latest version of the
sensor firmware. The app will go to the Moxy website to find the latest
firmware files.

Smart Watches and Bike Computers
Garmin devices support the display and recording of Moxy Data three
different ways.
1) Native Support –A small number of devices support muscle oxygen
data natively. This is limited to 1 Moxy at a time and it does not
support recording of the sensor location. It pairs to the Moxy just
like a Heart Rate sensor or Power Meter.
2) ConnectIQ Data Fields. These can be downloaded from the Garmin
App store and installed on your ConnectIQ compatible device. After
they are installed, they are inserted into the display of your regular
activities like any other data field. Pairing is done through the App
settings feature in Garmin Express or Garmin Connect Mobile. All
devices support 2 Moxys at once and some support 3.
3) ConnectIQ Apps. These can be downloaded from the Garmin App
store and installed on your ConnectIQ compatible device. Apps are
like adding another activity to your device so where you have a Run
or Indoor Cycle Activity, you would see an additional Moxy activity.
The Moxy 5-1-5 Apps can guide a 5-1-5 Assessment. The Moxy Run
or Moxy Cycle Apps have additional capabilities like SmO2 alarms and
a live graph of the data.
The Wahoo Elemnt bike computers support the display and recording of
one Moxy Sensor at a time by pairing the Moxy like any other sensor.

Data Display & Collection Software
Moxy is compatible with several data display and collection software
systems that are used for training studio and research applications. All of
these applications use the ANT+ MO2 profile setting on the Moxy
PerfPro Studio supports multiple Moxy sensors per user and multiple
users. It can collect the Moxy data using multiple ANT+ dongles and/or
multiple NPE Wasp devices. It allows viewing of the muscle oxygen data
and has an automated Muscle Oxygen report that is generated at the end
of a workout. It supports automated transfer of the data to many
popular online services like Garmin Connect, TrainingPeaks and others.
PerfPro is compatible with most smart trainers, Conept II Rowers and
some treadmills. It also collects power, cadence, speed and heart rate
data. The data can be exported in .FIT or .CSV formats.
PeriPedal software supports one Moxy per user and multiple users. It
also collects power, cadence, speed and heart rate data via 1 ANT+
dongle. It supports exporting the data in .FIT and .CSV formats.
The Omnia software package from Cosmed collects and displays the Moxy
data along with the VO2 and other data from their devices.

10
Data Display & Collection Software
Golden Cheetah software is freeware that supports live display of
Moxy data and importing of FIT files with Moxy data. It allows
powerful customization of the data display and analysis. It is
complied for Windows and Mac.
Maximum Trainer is a free indoor cycling software that supports
live display of Moxy data and saves the data in the FIT file. It has
Windows and Mac versions.

11
Wearing the Sensor
There are 4 Primary methods for wearing the Moxy Sensor.
Under Compression Clothing: The sensor may simply be tucked under
compression clothing. This is primarily for measuring on the Quadriceps.
It may be used with or without the light shield in this mode. However,
the light shield can help stabilize the sensor placement.
Large Adhesive Attachments: The Large Adhesive attachments are used
with the Light shield. The tape should have good contact with the skin all
around the light shield.
Small Adhesive Attachments: These are a lighter duty attachment and
are typically used without the light shield. The circular ring of double
stick tape is attached to the sensor and the rectangle tape is attached to
the skin.
Taping over the entire sensor: This can be done with or without the light
shield. This is typically only required for extremely aggressive motion for
very long periods. It can also be used for more awkward positions like on
the back for swimmers.
The Moxy sensor is waterproof to 1 meter of depth. It can be used inside
of a clear zipper baggie if more protection is desired.
