Analyze the performance of your cycling with energy data

At TrainerPlan, we are pleased to present a new feature that improves your training and performance management skills. now with the TrainerPlan performance charts, we offer users the ability to choose between the different types of performance charts: Effort (based on heart rate), energy effort (based on the power of cycling) or a combined vision that integrates both using our own algorithm. Here is a detail of how the TrainerPlan performance charts They can benefit coaches and athletes.

Stress chart (based on heart rate)

the chart of The effort uses trimp (Training Impulse) is a concept developed by the physiologist Eric Bannister, to calculate the effort based on the heart rate data. This chart is an excellent tool for athletes who rely on heart rate monitoring to measure the intensity of their training and track the progress of their physical shape. The main benefits include:

  • Real-time monitoring: Easily track how your body responds to training sessions.
  • physical condition, fatigue and form: Visualize your fitness levels, fatigue build-up and general form to optimize training loads and recovery periods.
  • Knowledge in holistic training: Understand the cardiovascular load and adapt your training plan accordingly.

Strength voltage graph (based on cycling power)

Power Stress Graph calculates the effort based on cycling power data, using a concept developed by the physiologist Andrew Coggan, offering an accurate measurement of your physical performance. This chart is perfect for cyclists and triathletes using energy meters. The main benefits include:

  • Accurate Voltage Calculation: Get a clear view of your actual performance and impact on performance.
  • Improved performance tracking: Monitor your progress with metrics that directly correlate with your cycling power.
  • Targeted training settings: Adjust the intensity and duration of your training based on energy data to achieve specific performance goals.

Combined viewing (effort + energy effort)

For users who want the best of both worlds, our combined vision integrates effort (FC) and the power of power (Watts) using our unique algorithm. This dual approach provides a complete view of the load and performance of the training. The main benefits include:

  • Integrated Data Analysis: Merge heart rate and energy data to get a complete view of your effort.
  • Balanced training approach: Make sure that cardiovascular and energy metrics are considered in your training plan.
  • Optimized performance management: Use the combined ideas to balance the intensity of training and recovery, reducing the risk of overtraining.

Applications for coaches and athletes

  • for coaches: These new graphics allow trainers to create more personalized and effective training plans. By understanding an athlete’s effort from heart rate and power perspectives, coaches can design sessions to achieve specific fitness goals, manage fatigue, and improve overall performance.
  • for athletes: Athletes can take advantage of these charts for more detailed information about their training. Whether you focus on heart rate or power, or want a complete view, these tools will help you make informed decisions about the intensity of your training and recovery needs.

Conclusion

Our new energy effort and effort charts are designed to provide detailed and actionable information about your training. By choosing the chart that best suits your training style, you can optimize your performance and achieve your fitness goals more effectively.
