WHAT TO BRING FOR A BIKE FITTING Bring your bicycle(s) and equipment (shoes, clothing) ready to ride. If you are doing a custom fitting and do not have a bicycle, wear clothing appropriate to be fitted on a bicycle, including cycling shoes and clipless pedal system that you use. Contact us with any questions. |
HOW TO PREPARE FOR A PERFORMANCE TEST You should be prepared for an MSS test in the same manner as you would a race (rested, hydrated, fed, and with at least 48 hrs of no high-intensity training). 1. Bring your own bicycle upon which you are most well-trained (if available, select a cassette with a tighter gear ratio, e.g. 12-23). 2. To obtain accurate data you must be well-recovered (no hard training within 48 hrs), well-hydrated & normally fed. 3. You may warm up for the testing session upon arrival on the ergometer trainer. ABOUT THE MAXIMAL STEADY STATE - PERFORMANCE TEST A maximal steady state (MSS) test will accurately and reliably predict your MSS heart rate and power output. MSS is a 30 minute performance threshold as it reflects "real-world" performance, such as a 20 km time trial. HR and power training zones are then determined from your unique and current MSS. Consultation is included to define your training zones, what occurs physiologically when you train at those levels of intensity, and how to apply the information to your training. The MSS test protocol
was designed and validated by Dario Fredrick, specifically for trained
cyclists . The protocol validation study was presented at the 2003
American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Conference and is in
submission for publication (Fredrick,
2003). |
