Study of NanoVi® Device – Impact on Lactate Levels
University of Vienna, Center for Sports Science
Abstract
Research conducted at the Center for Sports Science at the University of Vienna evaluated blood lactate and inflammatory markers following exercise-induced oxidative stress. The findings presented here are part of a larger study on the physiological effects of NanoVi® technology in athletes.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of NanoVi® bio-identical signaling on blood lactate levels as an indicator of an athlete’s physiological response to physical stress.
Methods: A double-blind, crossover study was conducted with 21 healthy male athletes. Researchers and participants were blinded to the activation status of the NanoVi® devices. Diet, supplementation, and exercise were controlled before testing. Each participant underwent a 15-minute NanoVi® Pro session before an all-out exertion test. Capillary blood samples were collected at six time points:
- Baseline: 30 minutes before the exertion test (t-30)
- Pre-exertion: After the NanoVi® session but before exertion (t0)
- Post-exertion: Five time points after exertion (t55, t58, t60, t62, t65)
Results: Athletes using the active NanoVi® Pro device had significantly lower post- exertion blood lactate levels. Immediately after exertion (t55) and at the final measurement (t65), lactate concentrations were 17% lower in the active group, with some variation at intermediate time points. Statistical analysis (T-test for independent samples) confirmed significant differences between groups post-exertion. As expected, no differences were observed at baseline (t-30) or pre-exertion (t0). The exertion test increased lactate levels sharply, rising sixfold in the placebo group but only fivefold in the active NanoVi® group. Researchers attributed this difference to the 15-minute NanoVi® session prior to exertion.
Conclusions: This study demonstrates the regenerative potential of NanoVi® technology. A single 15-minute session before exertion significantly reduced lactate accumulation, suggesting a protective effect against exercise-induced oxidative stress. The magnitude of improvement (17% lower lactate) highlights NanoVi®’s potential to support athletic performance and recovery. These findings indicate that incorporating NanoVi® sessions before training or competition may help athletes mitigate exertion-related stress and enhance performance.
