The athlete completed an initial test to measure power and heart rate without Stamox.

For the next 4 weeks, the athlete took 1.5 tablespoons of Stamox 2 hours before every training session.

After 4 weeks, the athlete repeated the test under the same conditions to compare the results.

Efficiency Factor has increased at all durations, showing the positive effect of Stamox in the ability to sustain power for long durations at a lower heart rate.

Shows a clear increase in watt produced at all durations, from 5 min to 30 min. 

Figure 1: avg. Power at different durations 1 month with STAMOX

Figure 1 shows the max avg power registers after 1 month of taking 1.5 tbsp of Stamox in 500ml of water 2h before every training session. 5 and 10 min power records were obtained in a gravel race while 20 and 30 min power records were obtained in the same training session on the road bike. The analysed power durations are considered the most important ones regarding the type of race that I am training for (+3h races – gravel and road cycling). This means that Stamox can help increase the performance in this kind of racing already after 1 month of taking it.

Figure 2: Comparation of w/kg at different durations with STAMOX vs before taking STAMOX

Figure 2 shows a clear increase on w/kg at all durations, from 5 min to 30 min. This shows that STAMOX could increase performance not just at VO2 max durations (around 5min), but also at longer durations (+20 min).

Figure 3: Efficiency factor at different durations with STAMOX vs before taking STAMOX

This is related to what we can see in Figure 3. Efficiency factor (EF) is the result of avg power / avg HR in a specific duration. As we can see in the graph, efficiency factor has increased at all durations, showing the positive effect of Stamox in the ability to sustain power for long durations at a lower heart rate.
