Spinning® Watt's Your Power: Understanding Metrics for Spinning®

Online Course

Created by João Ferreira, Spinning® Master Instructor

Course Overview

Training with power doesn't have to be complex to be effective. This course is designed to demystify power by blending the thrill of challenge with the satisfaction of cutting-edge practices. Learn the concept of power, how it is measured, and why it is used by athletes and enthusiasts in their daily training. We'll determine your Personal Spinning® Threshold (PST) using the SPINPower® test protocol, and you'll learn how to teach it to your students as well. In addition, learn how PST relates to Functional Threshold Power (FTP), explore the different FTP test protocols, and apply these concepts in your classes. By educating your participants on understanding their individual power thresholds, you will empower them to manage their intensity more effectively, leading to better workout outcomes. Get ready to embrace the data-driven revolution!
