If you’ve never used the CompuTrainer, prepare to be amazed!
There are two basic uses Threshold Sports Training has for the CompuTrainer . . . Evaluation and Training.

Evaluation

While heart rate is indeed important (and a component we monitor), recent research supports the use of power as the most important cycling variable.

When an athlete is able to produce more power and maintain that for a longer duration, cycling performance will increase significantly

Perhaps surprisingly, there is a “right and wrong” way to pedal a bike.  CompuTrainer’s Spin Scan allows Threshold Sports Training to evaluate your pedaling technique to improve your efficiency.

Training

We can also use CompuTrainer as a training tool.
Used multiple times per week, CompuTrainer can improve your efficiency and power, translating to improved performance during your race.

Check out this video for an example of how the CompuTrainer can be used.
