Movistar utilisera ce laboratoire portable pour surveiller les niveaux d'hydratation des cyclistes

Continuing with the incorporation of new technologies that will improve the performance of its cyclists, Movistar Team has added M3X to its collaborators, a company that markets a hydration analyzer through a saliva sample from the cyclist.

M3X will collaborate with Movistar to improve the hydration of its cyclists

Movistar adds to its arsenal of tools aimed at improving the performance of cyclists the M3X hydration meter, a device capable of making real-time measurements to determine how much liquid needs to be consumed and the optimal type of drink to efficiently replenish lost electrolytes.

The M3X is a small handheld portable laboratory that takes a saliva sample from the cyclist, analyzing the data that is sent to a mobile app for further analysis. With the information provided on electrolyte concentration, Movistar Team technicians can establish a hydration strategy for cyclists throughout training and races.

In addition, the M3X can also use lactate test strips so that this element can be measured with a saliva sample instead of the usual blood samples, with similar precision and allowing the measurement of the cyclist's aerobic capacity without the hassle of blood samples that require a small ear prick.

Juan Pablo Molinero, performance manager of Movistar Team, explained, "We are very excited about this agreement. Optimal hydration is essential for the performance of our riders and thanks to the agreement with MX3, we will be able to regularly monitor hydration to ensure that the body is always ready to perform at its best."
