For all our training, we use PULSE ZONES, as a measuring tool, to understand what one's starting point is under different intensities. However, we use a WATT scale for indoor spinning (INDOOR BIKE).<\/p>

The primary difference between the two methods is that when measuring watts, you get a precise measurement of the effect you step on the pedals with. Whereas heart rate is an indication of how much your body is under stress. With heart rate training, it is not just about the intensity you train with, but also whether you are sick, the temperature, the humidity, how warm you are wearing clothes, how rested\/tired you are. To be precise, we use the term Functional Threshold Power (FTP), which is the maximum stable Watt power a cyclist can pedal for one hour (However, we test at 20 min all-out and multiply the average Watt figure by 0.95). Watts are not the same every time, but are a direct reading of the power you pedal with.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Since it is accurate, you can better use it to compare intervals, hill sprints, training sessions, races, etc. You also get the opportunity to see the development of your strength, which is not possible with heart rate, as it will be in the same range even if you pedal with more watts because you have become stronger. Your wattmeter gives you feedback directly opposite to your heart rate, which can easily be 10, 20 and often more than 30 seconds behind the measurement and actual heart rate.<\/p>

Wattmeters on bicycles cost several thousand kroner, although prices are on the way down to a rent where more people can participate. \/tri club denmark clearly recommends, if you have the means, to use a wattmeter in your training on the bike. Recently, there have also been wattmeters for running, including the products STRYD or SHFT.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
