The virtual cycling platform (ANT + and BLE protocols) is one of the latest updates available with the 3.2.6 release of the MagneticDays APP (online for iOS and Android from today). It introduces a new screen during the workout on Zwift or similar virtual cycling platforms (no routes mode) with the chance to display the following data:

• average wattage for X minutes od workout (X varies from 5 to 30 minutes, this option can be set from your MD account);
• total average wattage;
• instantaneous watt/ kg ratio;
• watt/kg ratio for X minutes of workout (X varies from 5 to 30 minutes, this option can be set from your MD account);
• watt/kg ratio for the whole workout.

In addition, the release 3.2.6 of MagneticDays APP also includes the following 4 updates:

• upgrade of STOP function for Coaches who will now be able to decide which fixed brake value to use (until now the brake was -5 by default);
• creation of a marker for selecting a specific point of the workout: an athlete can choose to mark a specific point during the workout (additional icon at the top right of the screen) and display it on the graph with the aim of providing the coach one or more feedback on the course;

• chance to pair saturation detection system such as Moxy or other pulse oximeters and save the data that will be displayed by the MD WiFi APP;
• ANT+ remote control setting: chance to pair (directly from the APP) the ANT+ buttons to control the + and – during the workout with the support of the Virtual Gear.

• have the JARVIS firmware update to version 36
• have the MD WiFi App updated to version 3.2.0
• have an MD heart rate monitor or other belt that can record RR interval*
• sit still for 3 minutes before the training begins, to monitor the basal level
• sit still for 3 minutes after the training ends, to see the difference from the baseline
• have at least 80% of the data reading available (the App provides this indication by changing the color of the HRV icon during training: RED for insufficient data, YELLOW for average sufficient data, GREEN for sufficient data)**

*The RR interval is the time between one heartbeat and the next, expressed in milliseconds.

**Data reading refers to the optimal heart rate reading while wearing a heart rate monitor.

The new heart rate variability analysis function is included by default for all HTT workouts. But it’s only valid once. In all other cases (repetition of the same HTT workout, self-managed or self-calibrating workout, own workout or workout received from other Coaches), it is available after purchasing a specific package of 20 analyzes from the online shop for €25. It will be up to the user to choose which training to analyze. On the “activities” page of your personal account, you can will see the number of analyzes available.

 

The heart rate variability (HRV) analysis in indoor training with JARVIS smart trainer

“Heart rate variability – explains MD Coach Luca Bianchini – has been a consolidated parameter for quite some time. In recent years, thanks to research and the development of new software, it’s been possible to dig deeper into its characteristics. Adding the heart rate variability analysis in indoor training with JARVIS smart trainer MagneticDays – continues Coach Bianchini – allows you to have an additional evaluation tool on monitoring training and on controlling the athlete’s recovery. The post-training analysis allows you to identify other parameters such as respiratory frequency and / or quantification of the internal load“.

The release 2.7.0 of App MD WiFi is available from 2019, August 1th and includes new functions to use.

Relase 2.7.0 App MD WiFi | SPRINT and STOP

SPRINT and STOP are the last functions introduced with the release 2.7.0 of App MD WiFi. SPRINT function allows to make an acceleration (improve of cycling cadence) keeping the magnetic brake in the fixed position. STOP function (managed by the MD Coach) concerns the stop of cycling movement during the recovery step within the HTT workout. When the MD Coach chooses to use the STOP function, the timer indicator continues to go ahead even if the user/athlete doesn’t move his legs, because this condition represent a step of training. SPRINT and STOP are already available and can be used by the MD Coach to analyze the performance, therefore the user/athlete can’t modify this function directly.

Relase 2.7.0 App MD WiFi | How to enable the  calibration of HTT workouts

The release 2.7.0 of App MD WiFi also introduces the possibility to calibrate the HTT workouts – via App – by the modification of percentage of training intensity. Here’s the directions:

A few months ago we introduced the possibility to disable the warning notification option from App MD WiFi directly. With the new release 2.5.0 of App MD WiFi – online from 2019, April 15th – we will introduce a new management procedure of heart rate control that will can be done from own personal account on the MagneticDays website EXCLUSIVELY, whereas you will view the summary of settings only from the MD WiFi App. In fact, the reason is very simple: if the App MD WiFi has been installed on more than one device, the heart rate control option can be disabled and/or edited as needed connecting directly to the MD server and making the synchronization procedure via internet (data or WiFi). In this way each user is 100% certain that all the changes applied are synchronized on all devices where the MD App has been installed. It’s important to remember that after installing the release 2.5.0 of MD WiFi App all users will have the warning notification option setted by default (120 bpm), then they will have to repeat the procedure for disable and/or modify the heart rate control option. So let’s look at the two possibilities.

Relase 2.5.0 MD WiFi App | How to disable the Heart Rate Control

Here’s the directions to disable the heart rate control option:

Sign in to your personal account on www.magneticdays.com

Click on the Menu Settings, then click on Options

Disable the button of heart rate control, then click on Save

Sign in to MD WiFi App with your user and pwd

Make the synchronization procedure via internet (data or WiFi) and wait for the message SYNC SUCCESS (green color) *

The message SYNC FAILED (red color) appears in case of error (no internet connection)

Relase 2.5.0 MD WiFi App | How to modify the Heart Rate Control

Here’s the directions to set your desired value of threshold heart rate in Stop or Recalculate Workout mode:

Sign in to your personal account on www.magneticdays.com

Click on the Menu Settings, then click on Options

The value of heart rate is setted by default (120 bpm) in Stop Workout mode

Set the desired value of threshold heart rate and workout mode according to your needs, considering that:

•  Stop Workout mode automatically stops workout when the heart rate reaches the set value
•  Recalculate Workout mode allows to recalculate the intensity of single step of each workout – setting a value in % – when the heart rate reaches a value of -5 bpm from the setted threshold value (EXAMPLE: with a % value of 20% and single step of workout equal to 100 Watts, when the heart rate reaches a value of -5 bpm from the setted threshold value, the single step is reduced by 20%, so the user works at 80 Watts) **

Click on Save

Sign in to MD WiFi App with your user and pwd

Make the synchronization procedure via internet (data or WiFi) and wait for the message SYNC SUCCESS (green color) *

The message SYNC FAILED (red color) appears in case of error (no internet connection)

 

* The synchronization procedure with smartphone or tablet MUST BE DONE via internet (data or WiFi)

** In all types of MD TESTS (incremental exercise test, Joule incremental test, Time Trial Newton test) the workout is stopped in any case and brake is opened. Furthermore, in all types of Training Mode other than MD Training mode (MD WiFi App), the workout is stopped in any case and brake is opened

Have you downloaded recently the MD App WiFi and are you ready to start your workout? Sounds good.. everything is ready!

How do you say? Training stopped after 10 minutes? Have you disabled or modify the “Warning Notification” option in the My Account menu?

“Warning Notification” involves the immediate interruption of workout at the max Threshold Heart Rate value reached. You can disable or modify this value in the My Account menu (default is 120 bpm) based on your needs. This novelty was launched in occasion of the Regional Operational Programme (ROP) by the European Regional Development Fund and co-financed by Tuscany Region, where MagneticDays has been selected with its biomedical project named Bio-MagneticDays – developed in R.T.I. (Temporary grouping of of companies) – with the goal to bring a five-year experience in the world of indoor training for cycling through the use of the one and only indoor training system based on a scientific approach in the field of medical rehabilitation.
