Wherever possible VeloTraining will base programmes on accurately performed performance tests and similar tests will be used to periodically monitor performance and quantify the development of the client as an athlete. VeloTraining believes that without appropriate testing, training programmes are effectively performed "blind" with no definitive quantification of the progress of the athlete. If the athlete has the appropriate equipment he or she can of course self test. Testing performed by VeloTraining is undertaken using a VeloTron Dynafit Pro cycling ergometer, a laboratory specification unit which provides data which is not only highly accurate but also provides results that are highly repeatable.
An additional advantage of the use of the VeloTron Dynafit Pro is that it's complete adjustabilty means that it is not necessary for clients to transport their own bicycle in order to be tested. Work can also be done on cycling position to maximise power generation as well as using the SpinScan programme to analyse pedal stroke. Following testing, optimal position measurements are recorded and can be used for future tests; they can also be applied by the client to their own bicycle setup.
