"We use VO2 Master to get critical insights and the physiological reasons behind those metrics. Team sports are very stop and go, so we want to see what the limiting system is and then what’s the limiter of those limiters — and the VO2 Master has really allowed us to dial that in"

Continuum HP — Bringing Metabolic Precision to Professional Sports Performance

Continuum HP, a premier sports performance and sports medicine facility in Scottsdale, Arizona, works with some of the world’s most demanding athletes—from MLB, NFL, and NHL professionals to Olympic hopefuls and collegiate standouts. Their challenge: traditional lab-based VO2 testing couldn’t provide sport-specific insights during real training sessions. Seeking a portable, validated metabolic tool that delivered lab-quality precision in real-world environments, Continuum HP integrated the VO2 Master Analyzer into its assessment and return-to-play workflows. The result is a new level of individualized training, clearer limiter identification, and stronger athlete education and awareness rooted directly in real-time physiology.

Challenge

Continuum HP serves elite athletes — from Major League Baseball and NHL players to NCAA student athletes and Olympic hopefuls — who require precise insight into their physiology to maximize performance and recovery.

While traditional lab-based VO2 and metabolic testing offered valuable data, it lacked flexibility and sport specific testing. Athletes often have tight travel and training schedules leading to limited testing frequency. Continuum HP needed a portable, validated metabolic tool that could deliver lab-quality data in real-world conditions.

Solution

In 2025, Continuum HP integrated the VO2 Master Analyzer into its general intake testing and some return to play testing protocols.

Using VO2 Master’s portability and Bluetooth integration, Andrew Hauser and Alex Hubelbank began conducting VO2 max, RMR, and real-time zone testing and profiling directly within their training facility.

Implementation

Population: MLB, NFL, NHL, MLS, NBA, pro track & field, tennis and boxing athletes and high-performance clients
Testing Protocols:
- VO2 max and submaximal assessments for energy system profiling
- RMR testing for caloric information, goal ingestion and preventing under fueling
- Portable on-field zone identification (Zone 2–5)
Integration: Data synced with heart rate monitors and Moxy monitors with live feedback and instant summary reports.

Key Outcomes:

Enhanced ability to individualize training and recovery protocols
Improved athlete education and buy-in using real-time VO2 and RMR data
Significant increase in measurable aerobic efficiency and energy system awareness among athletes

Impact

Continuum HP’s adoption of VO2 Master testing has set a new standard for integrating sport-specific limiter identification in athletes and performance training modifications. By pairing the data with applied coaching, Andrew and Alex are leaders in the sport science community demonstrating how portable metabolic testing optimizes personalized training in numerous pro sports.
