Performance doesn’t come from guessing 🎯

Long-term progress needs to be tracked, monitored, and planned ahead 📈

Highlighting the importance of effective communication and data analysis, our coaches and athletes use our collaborative “Athlete Dashboard” tool alongside @trainingpeaks ⬇️

- Helpful tools to aid performance 🚀

- Systems to promote reflection to see what has worked and what hasn’t 👀

- Carefully constructed performance planning to ensure success at the right time ✅

1:1 Coaching is more than just a training program - it’s about an athlete centred approach and understanding the bigger picture 🙌

Low cadence ≠ strength. But it does train how your body produces force… 👀

Pushing a big gear at 60 RPM won’t replace the gym. Even at 400 watts, the torque (~63 Nm) doesn’t come close to what’s required to build strength (Korff, 2007). Real strength adaptations need heavy mechanical load - 60-85% of 1RM, to recruit high-threshold motor units (ACSM, 2009; Schoenfeld et al., 2021) 🚀

So why use on-bike torque training? 💪

- Because it improves how your body coordinates and recruits muscle fibres under tension.

Studies show that:

• Low cadence efforts improve motor unit synchronisation and activation timing (Hautier et al., 2000; Fonda & Sarabon, 2010)

• They help you apply force more efficiently across the pedal stroke

• They improve fatigue resistance by increasing the endurance capacity of working fibres (Zoll, 2002)

• When built into interval training, they can boost aerobic power and threshold (Hebisz & Hebisz, 2024)

Low cadence training isn’t about building muscle - it’s about getting more out of the muscle you already have 📈

FTP vs Critical Power 👀

A similar goal, but different tools 🛠️

While FTP is widely used, easy to understand, and practical - it has its limitations. Contrary to popular belief, it is certainly not the only key metric involved in performance increases 📈

The critical power model can be a valuable field-based method of modelling performance. Grounded in physiology and giving a more detailed picture of an athlete, it can give us clearer insights into performance, effort repeatability, and fatigue mechanisms. 📊

Both models can be great tools for a coach and athlete alike - but the key to effective intervention and using them well is to understand the physiology behind each 👨🏼‍🔬🧪
