In the last article about the\u00a0MagneticDays<\/strong>\u00a0Training Philosophy<\/strong>\u00a0we have talked about\u00a0<\/span>how to increase Bike Power<\/a>\u00a0(the great innovation\u00a0about our Indoor Training System) working with the\u00a0two fundamental components of\u00a0\u201cPower data\u201d<\/strong>: RPM (Revolution Per Minute) and Force (Newton Per Meters), and how it is absolutely necessary\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>to determine the specific physiological values\u00a0for each athlete\u00a0before to write a custom built training<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0HTT Methodology<\/a>\u00a0represent the most scientific built training programs that are currently possible and it starts with the incremental exercise test. Everything is based on a first briefing session with a MD Coach, where the user\/client defines own goals. Second step is the start of evaluation of athletic training form in order to understand the real physiological parameters of the user\/athlete.\u00a0Third step is represented by the first 6 built training programs (duration: 60 minutes for each) that are different from each other. The last part of these programs includes additional parameters that allow to create next workouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, the last part of workout No 6 is represented by a test that allows to understand the efficacy of the previous workouts and their effects on physiological values of the athlete, giving informations (and new data) to MD Coach in order to write new built (and calibrated) training programs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Incremental Test is the first approach with MagneticDays<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Our\u00a0incremental test protocol (made in collaboration with a few Italian Universities) starts from a value in the amount of 50% of own reference value<\/strong>. MD System improves the Power of<\/strong> 1 Watt per 6 seconds with RPM free<\/strong>. This test ends when the\u00a0user\/athlete has\u00a0reached maximum effort\u00a0and therefore cannot proceed further with the\u00a0test.<\/p>\n

The first evaluation by MagneticDays is to observe the natural cadence for each user\/athlete<\/strong>. What does it mean?\u00a0The first important thing for us is to know the natural cycling cadence, in order to optimize the pedalling technique and efficiency for each user\/athlete. For this reason<\/strong>, this protocol represent the right compromise between accuracy and execution times<\/strong>.\u00a0Another right protocol (even more accurate than this) is represented by 1 Watt per 8 seconds<\/em>, but the execution times are too long.<\/p>\n
