Technogym Unveils Mycycling

Technogym has launched MYCYCLING, a home training solution that transforms outdoor cycling performance.

MYCYCLING combines a hi-tech smart trainer, a native app with personalised programmes, and a network of professional coaches able to guide and develop a tailor-made training programme.

MYCYCLING also includes a specific training system dedicated to cyclists – TNT – Technogym Neuromuscular Training – that will help improve your performance every day.

The new TNT system is born of the collaboration between Technogym’s Medical and Scientific Research Centre and athletes, coaches, physiologists and sports trainers, and aims to enhance metabolic and neuromuscular characteristics to improve outdoor performance.

The combination of elements, developed by Technogym for training using the TNT system, is based on:

SMART TRAINER – THE PRODUCT
MYCYCLING is designed to offer maximum stability during training, especially when simulating outdoor sprints. The heart of the product is the electro-mechanical brake that controls with acute precision every second the user in the seat. MYCYCLING also features a torque sensor able to directly measure power with a precision tolerance of +/-1%. Optical sensors analyse the thrust at all times, and allow users to visualise the smooth circular pedaling stroke as well as the symmetry between left and right foot. The fly-wheel has been designed to ensure a natural pedaling sensation providing you with the same sense of inertia you feel when pedaling outdoors.

MYCYCLING APP
Tests, programmes, personalisation, routes and bio-feedback: all these are part of the MYCYCLING app. Place a smartphone on the handlebar support to take control of MYCYCLING via Bluetooth and start training. The MYCYCLING app works with Garmin or Strava accounts to enjoy an overview of your indoor and outdoor training data and drive higher performance levels.

The app allows users to ride along some of the routes such as Passo dello Stelvio, Col de l’Alpe d’Huez and many others.

PERSONALISED TRAINING PROGRAMMES
With MYCYCLING users have access to a range of personalised training programmes to enhance performance thanks to TNT. TNT starts with a preliminary test to determine anaerobic power and cadence thresholds via two tests carried out indoors: the Technogym Maximal Test and the FTP (Functional Threshold Power) test. The results will dictate an 18 week personalised training plan, which will be made up of three phases, each lasting six weeks: preparation, development and transition. Then start from the first phase and follow the entire programme or begin from a later phase, ideally integrating it with outdoor, long-distance, weekly sessions. The TNT programme consists of 40-70 minute training sessions, constantly changing the cadence and power levels for comprehensive neuromuscular activation.

A NETWORK OF EXPERT COACHES
Select one of the programmes designed by professional coaches for specific training goals. MYCYCLING Coaching can also choose to train supported by cycling experts in the international cycling community certified by Technogym, whether an amateur, an athlete or a coach.
