AMR (€79) or AMP (€169) in the laboratory: one morning is enough for the complete picture. The AMR is the perfect entry point.
Your results and your watch come together in the HOP app. Remote? We start with your wearable data alone.
Pulse, Track or Prime: the plan adjusts to your data and we are on the other side of the chat, wherever you train.
How much of your time does this take? One morning in the laboratory (45 min to 2h30, depending on the pack). After that, everything happens in the app and on your watch. Live far away? You only come in to be measured.
Laboratory assessments, ongoing monitoring, and the app that brings it all together.
Performance
Three laboratory tests that measure rather than estimate. AMR, AMP and AM, at a fixed price with the result in the app.

In the FRIEND registry (Kaminsky et al., Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2022; 22,379 treadmill tests, in the USA), median VO₂max values fall by about 4 ml/kg/min per decade of age. It is the variable that responds most to aerobic training — and almost nobody knows theirs. We measure yours: by gas analysis, not by formula.

Yes. Monitoring works anywhere in Portugal: your watch data reaches the app, we reply in the chat and the plans adjust wherever you train. Laboratory assessments, when you want to do them, are in person.
No. Our assessments are for wellbeing and performance and do not replace medical examinations or opinions.
