KEY FEATURES

True Aerobic Capacity

The Q-NRG Max provides direct measurement of aerobic capacity (VO₂ max) using gas exchange, not estimates. Combined with comprehensive CPET analysis and heart rate data, it supports health and performance decisions tailored to individual physiology.

Individual Assessment

The Q-NRG Max uses indirect calorimetry to assess metabolism through direct measurement of gas exchange. Results accurately reflect an individual’s metabolic status, supporting evaluation of fitness, response to nutrition strategies, and weight management planning.

Full Metabolic Analysis

The Q-NRG Max is designed to provide a full analysis, from substrate utilization to maximal and sub-maximal excercise testing, using high-precision measurements that meet the highest standards of metabolic analysis.

Easy workflow

An intuitive interface and guided prompts make the Q-NRG Max simple to operate across all procedures, reducing setup time and user error.

Compact

The Q-NRG Max is a lightweight, portable system that runs on battery or can be plugged in, without sacrificing the comfort of a large LCD color touchscreen.

Ready to use

The Q-NRG Max is ready when you are. With no warm-up or pre-test calibrations required, a few taps on the screen give quick access to all functions and reduce setup and testing time.

PRODUCT INSIGHT

Direct metabolic testing made simple, the Q-NRG Max brings gold-standard assessments in a portable system with fast setup and an intuitive workflow.
