The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
125. Kristen Holmes: WHOOP’s Principal Scientist Reveals Game-Changing Research

So measuring and quantifying that is kind of table stakes at this point, right? For the most part, we have access to that information if we need it.

I think where we could go, I think, to the next level, and I think a lot actually what we were experimenting with is looking at things like EPOC, for example, excess post-oxygen consumption, to understand when do I get to that place where if I keep going, my quality is going to begin to diminish.

And what you need to do is you need to watch the data in real time to understand when they start to reach that threshold, pull them off, Let them regroup.

So how are you measuring that threshold? And for those people that don't know what EPOC is, can we just get a little explanation of what EPOC is?

Yeah, so it's basically when you are finished an effort, basically how much oxygen you can consume. Not VO2 max. Not VO2 max, right? So this is a little bit different. And when you get to a point where... your quality will just diminish, right?

You're gonna basically adapt to a lower level of functioning when you get to a point where you are asking where your body can no longer meet the demands, right? And that's where fatigue starts to set in. You can't run as fast. Your decisions start to wane. your body starts to not shut down, but it just is not operating as efficiently.

So you know in the first quarter of a game versus the fourth quarter, there's a difference in the quality. But I think that's really what I was trying to tap is how do we maintain... a really high level of quality over the course of the game. It doesn't mean we're always gonna win, right? If a team is more talented than we are.

But I really was interested in putting ourselves in a position where we were never losing games we should win, right? Number one. And I didn't wanna lose because of fatigue. So that's really what I was trying to solve with this 24-7 picture and with the technology that we were using to understand how athletes were adapting in the moment to the load that was happening on the field.
