CLOMP Explained by our chairman Wonsun Chung

• Imagine effortlessly running 10km within 3 months, even without exercising for the past 10 years.

• Imagine losing weight without feeling exhausted and maintaining it effectively with less effort.

• Imagine running faster and longer, breaking records daily by better understanding your body.

Time to use CLOMP, an innovative wearable and non-invasive device that transforms your running experience forever. CLOMP measures your muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) in real-time, providing you with tailored running plans based on your unique physiological data.

Science Behind CLOMP

Ever wondered why sweating it out doesn't always equal losing weight? Or why, despite your relentless efforts, your results seem stagnant? Traditional methods of weight loss and training often overlook a crucial factor - the individual's unique physiology. 

Every person's body responds differently to exercise, based on factors such as metabolism, muscle oxygen saturation, and fat-burning ratio. 

It's not just about the intensity of your effort; it's about the intelligence behind your workout. Running at top speed or pushing yourself to the brink doesn't necessarily translate to efficient fat-burning. 

Why is this? 

As your running pace intensifies and you push your limits, the proportion of fat utilized as an energy source decreases. Your body begins to rely on carbohydrates, not fat, to fuel your exertion.

This shift in metabolic sources can impact your fat loss goals and overall fitness progress. Remember, the key to effective fat burn and fitness improvement lies in running smart, not just hard.

Understanding Lactate Threshold with Run-Level Test

Your muscles need energy to move, but how they generate energy can vary depending on the workout you're doing.

During aerobic exercise, such as walking, light jogging, or casual biking, your muscles use oxygen to create energy.

When your blood lactate concentration is less than 2mm mol, your body utilizes fat to produce energy to keep you going; however, after crossing this threshold, your body shifts gears, utilizing carbohydrates instead of fat for energy production.

As a result, the fat stays on the same level, your body gets tired, and you are not hitting any results. 

CLOMP analyzes your body data to deliver insights so you know your running intensity to burn the fat and not the carbs, while staying healthy and fit.

CLOMP is designed to help you reach your fitness goals more effectively by understanding your body's unique responses to exercise.

CLOMP uses medical-grade fNIRS (Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) to measure your muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2) levels through a 30-minute Run Level Test (without invasive blood tests) to determine your Training Zones (Zone 1, 2 or 3) — different intensity levels used to guide and optimize workouts based on your running pace.

It determines how much oxygen your muscles are using, at what pace, at what time, and at what distance.

It pinpoints the sweet spot where your body primarily burns fat for energy. With CLOMP's insights into your muscle performance across low, average, and high-intensity running, you get a clear picture of how your body responds to different efforts.

At the heart of effective running training is this technique: "Run slow to run fast." 

However, the key challenge lies in determining just how slow 'slow' should be. CLOMP revolutionizes your training methodology by meticulously measuring your workout intensity based on your blood lactate concentration, a critical indicator of fatigue.

With the expertise of Gerardo Barrios, a certified triathlon coach, CLOMP meticulously develops bespoke running plans that promise guaranteed results. Offering 16 varied running goals, CLOMP delivers top-notch personalized coaching directly to your phone, and the best part, it's absolutely free!

Whether you're gearing up for your first marathon, training for your next 10k, or aiming to shed some pounds, CLOMP delivers the exact running pace, intervals, and duration to meet your goals. 

And the result? You start running faster, longer, and burn fat more efficiently, all without the accompanying exhaustion.

Here is how the 16 workout goals work:

16 plans consist of 2 plans that build your base to get you ready for the rest of the 14 plans. In those 14 plans, you can choose to get ready for your 5-10k, half marathon, and full marathon. 

It also provides you with plans for weight loss or plans for people who just want to build endurance to have a healthy life.

In the digital age, data is power, and CLOMP brings that power to your fingertips with its comprehensive running tracking capabilities. 

Compatible with both iOS and Android phones, the CLOMP app gives you full access to muscle oxygen data, running results, and your progress over time.

The app is also engineered to work seamlessly with other sports devices like Android and Apple Watch, drawing from other analytics such as heart rate to bring you the most precise data possible. 

The CLOMP app provides you with detailed analytics, including your calorie burn rate, average heart rate, performance score, and of course, oxygen levels. This combination of tech and optimal fitness performance offers a cutting-edge approach to your personal running journey.

Voice Guide Through Headphones 

At CLOMP, we believe that the key to a successful workout lies in uninterrupted focus. To this end, we've integrated a real-time voice notification feature that works harmoniously with your headphones, guiding you through your journey.

Have you ever wondered why no marathon runners or soccer players are overweight? It's not just their rigorous training routines; their bodies have become incredibly efficient at burning fat so it doesn't accumulate. This is the secret CLOMP helps you unlock.

Based on your unique run-level test data, CLOMP calculates your optimal pace to burn fat most effectively. It provides real-time data on your Fat Burn Ratio, Optimum Fat Burn Speed, and the amount of Fat Burn in grams during each workout. This data, down to the gram, informs you precisely how much fat you've burnt during your workout.

With CLOMP, your fitness journey becomes a science. It guides you to transform your body into a highly efficient machine with enhanced fat-burn capability. This not only helps you run longer miles but also increases your endurance and overall health. Let CLOMP be your partner in achieving a leaner, fitter, and healthier you.

Don't just take our word for it - hear what our beta testers have to say about their own experiences:

For coaches who want the best for their team, CLOMP can measure the exact muscle performance of all of your athletes. You will know exactly who's working the hardest and who can be pushed even harder to get the best results from your team. Be in the know on when to taper and when to encourage to prevent any injuries that might happen from overexertion. 

With CLOMP you can have the upper hand and win championships.

With a workout score at the end of every run, CLOMP is perfect for a track team or any team that likes to compete and loves to win. Generate a score and see which one of you is working the hardest, has the best lactate threshold and is an overall better athlete. 

For those lone wolves that want to run ahead of the pack, or want to run with a private coach, you can get expert coaching through your headphones. CLOMP can give you real time direction telling you when to ease up to avoid injury or push harder to meet the mark! 

This is how to measure: Sit down, place your legs on a chair, and measure the circumference of your thighs located 5 inches above your knee cap. This would be the adequate thigh band size. 

CLOMP isn't just a piece of hardware– it's a lifestyle. It's the difference between aimlessly pounding the pavement and running with a purpose. It's about having control over your run and weight loss journey, about knowing your limits, and pushing them. So, if you're serious about it all, get serious about your gear.

Our parent company, OBELAB, has been making Brain Healthcare devices since 2013. It soon became clear that there are a lot of athletes that could benefit from the near-infrared spectroscopy technology. Once we understood that this could be repurposed, we introduced this tech to be used to measure a runner’s muscle oxygen levels. From there we decided to interpret those readings with crucial information so athletes could improve their workouts and enhance their performance naturally. After 9 years of development, testing and fine tuning we are proud to bring to sportsmen and sportswomen around the world the advantages CLOMP can offer them. 

Join us to move forward and make this impactful project a reality so more athletes around the world can reach their goals and thrive without injuries.
