In winter! it’s hard to avoid home trainer sessions to stay in shape and get
quality training. Even more so if you live in a place PMA PMT Road prone to snow and cold! When using your power meter! you may be surprised by the poor sensations and power outputs displayed during
intensive sessions when compared to road training. So! I’m taking
this opportunity to review the training zones and the
observed difference in power output between home trainer and road training.
The roller: the lowest PMA difference with the road (3/5%)
We now know that getting watts out on a home buy phone number list trainer is
more difficult than on the road. All the conditions are PMA PMT Road there for this:
lack of habit! pedaling pattern not identical! balance missing! inertia
of the roller different! rapid overheating
(think fan!!)! calculation of the power sensors not totally
identical… In short! the muscular efficiency is not there and for the same VO2max! the
power restored at the end of the pedal is not the same. With the hindsight of several years of analysis! the
difference is about 10%. So if you do a PMA test at 300 watts on
the road uphill! there is a good chance that there will only be 270 w left once on HT.
To be sure! you have to do it! You can see below a test carried out at 395 watts on the road for 5 minutes at full speed and 2
days before 330 watts on your powerful blog ideas for marketing lead generation Home trainer!! all measured with a powertap G3!
Impressive gap
and really justifying the usefulness of a double test for a good
calibration of training zones and sessions. Because a poorly calibrated PMA session on
HT will quickly turn into torture if we overuse
zone I6 (anaerobic lactic) by being too malaysia numbers list strong in watts.
