Aonach Community Call - Train Smarter Using Muscle Oxygen with Ilari Koivusalo // Monday 27 April 2026 17:30-18:30 EET

What if you could see, in real time, how your muscles are actually responding to training?

In this Aonach Community Call, Ilari Koivusalo explores how muscle oxygen data can help athletes and coaches make smarter decisions about effort, recovery, and performance. Using the Moxy Monitor as a practical tool, this session will show how muscle oxygen tracking can reveal what is happening beneath the surface — and how to use that information to train with more precision.

Whether you are coaching endurance athletes, optimizing your own training, or simply curious about wearable performance technology, this conversation will offer practical insights you can apply right away.

During this session, we will explore

• What muscle oxygen is and why it matters for training
• How the Moxy Monitor works in real-world settings
• How muscle oxygen data can support better pacing and intensity control
• What this technology can reveal about fatigue, recovery, and adaptation
• How coaches and athletes can use the data without overcomplicating training
• Common use cases, lessons learned, and practical applications

Training data is everywhere, but not all metrics tell you what is happening inside the muscle itself.

Muscle oxygen monitoring offers a different lens on performance — one that can help connect external output with internal response. This session is designed to make that lens more understandable and more usable.

You will leave with a clearer sense of

• When muscle oxygen data is most useful
• How it can complement other performance metrics
• How to think more critically about training load and athlete response
• Where this technology fits into modern endurance coaching and self-coaching

This call is for coaches, athletes and self-coached performers, sports scientists and performance practitioners, and anyone interested in using physiology to train more intelligently. No advanced technical background is needed.

Ilari Koivusalo is a 54-year-old cyclist with 33 years of riding experience. After competing in downhill and enduro mountain biking in his younger years, he now focuses on mountain and road cycling, especially longer distances. He is also a FISAF-certified Personal Trainer with ten years of coaching experience and a strong curiosity for new performance tools like Moxy.

The Aonach Community Call is an open, welcoming space to learn, reflect, and exchange knowledge. Come ready to listen, take notes, and be inspired by the mindset, methods, and moments that shape the journey toward success.
