your decisions,
strictly science-driven
Our innovative approach is the result of the teaming up with the pioneers of the metabolic power approach, a relationship which has strengthened over time. The gpexe R&D team, led by Prof. Pietro Enrico di Prampero and Cristian Osgnach, keeps implementing our analysis models, making gpexe the most advanced system available.
All the traditional parameters are available: speed zone, accelerations, HR. Moreover, you can take advantage of the energy approach, which consists in calculating the metabolic power from the running energy cost (estimated) and the speed (measured), assuming that accelerated/decelerated running on flat terrain is biomechanically equivalent to uphill/downhill running at a constant speed.

BALANCE WORK & RECOVERY
Our Metabolic Power Event (MPE) metric takes the anaerobic effort into account and provides you with a clear idea of the high-energy demand volume. It considers all the activities requiring energy from anaerobic sources, i.e. accelerations, sprints and changes of direction.
MPEs are much more informative than accelerations alone and gives a clear picture of the balance between work and recovery, as well as the decreasing of intensity.
academy
Research & education
The gpexe academy includes all the research and education activities related to the technological and scientific aspects of the gpexe system, with a main focus on the performance analysis model. The gpexe academy is directed by Prof. Pietro Enrico di Prampero and it involves the team, the partners – like Universities – and the gpexe users.
In the web app, our users can find a gpexe academy premium section containing multimedia contents such as papers, slides from our presentations, video recorded during our webinars and congresses.
Whether you are a gpexe user or not, if you are interested in our scientific articles, please join our community.
Prof. Pietro Di Prampero
Graduated in Medicine and Surgery, with a specialisation in Sports Medicine, Emeritus Professor of Physiology at University of Udine, he was educated in the Rodolfo Margaria’s School in Milan, breeding ground for men of science at the time. He is one of the world’s leading experts on muscular work energy and human locomotion on the Earth, on the Moon, on Mars, or in space, which he has been dealing with for over fifty years.
