Performance Axiom PowerTrain Test Electronic Training System

The days are now long gone when a cyclist trains on feel alone. Have you ever tried to book a test somewhere and after a long drive you are too tired and then compelled to ride hard in a strange environment. This also usually involves taking a whole day of work for this purpose. And possibly a short pay-packet at the end of the week. But now you do not have to worry as I will come to you and conduct the test for you. At a time convenient. All you supply is your bike and I will do the rest. Or I can also supply a bike if you prefer. This service is not only for riders I personally coach, but for every cyclist - whatever your level. And you are not compelled to use any of the other services I can offer. So if you have your own coach that is not a problem - you can also invite your Coach along as well. Detailed below you will find out what the the functions are and what the axiom has to offer you. I also supply a heart rate belt for the test and full tests results on floppy disc or a printed version before I leave you.

Axiom Training Test

The electronic 800 watt Power resistance unit automatically adjusts resistance when the degree of slope changes, simulating the resistance changes of real-world riding. The Axiom Training Test is the result of collaboration between ELITE and the Mapei Sport Service Centre directed by Prof. Sassi. The Mapei Sport Service Centre is a medical sport centre, avant-garde in the evaluation of athletes and cyclists and in the programming of their training.

Elite has managed to take the experience of the Mapei Sport Service Centre and put it on the rollers by managing to transport the indications within the Axiom Training Test program.

The program is capable of evaluating the athletic capacity of any cyclist by using an incremental, not maximal test, during which the computer calculates several fundamental parameters of the exertions of the cyclist. Thanks to these parameters it is able to calculate a series of referential values visualised at the end of the test. Thanks to these values, the cyclist who has carried out the test can see the situation regarding his/her own physical preparation and eventual improvement or deterioration. Furthermore, there is the possibility to save calculated data in a way that in following, it is possible to recall the data for confrontation.

With the test results, the Axiom Training Test develops a series of training circuits for four weeks of daily training and it saves them in the list of races in the Axiom Power Train program. An important difference between these training circuits generated by the Axiom Training Test program and those in the Axiom PowerTrain, is that during the former, the program also indicates the heart beat rate with which the training should be carried out by an indicator present on the Axiom PowerTrain "FIRST DATA SCREEN".

Functions of the program:

• Evaluation test of physical condition
• Automatic regulation of the power during the test
• Calculation of the following values:
  • Initial power
  • Critical power
  • Threshold power
  • Maximum power
  • Correlation power/weight
  • Correlation power/cardiac frequency
  • Initial cardiac frequency
  • Target cardiac frequency
  • Threshold cardiac frequency
  • Maximum cardiac frequency
  • Oxygen consumption and maximum cardiac frequency
  • Oxygen consumption and maximum cardiac frequency per unit of weight
  • Oxygen consumption and threshold cardiac frequency
  • Oxygen consumption and threshold cardiac frequency per unit of weight
• Graph of the course of the power during the test
• Graph of the course of the cardiac frequency during the test
• Classification of the cyclist
• Salvage of all the calculated values
• Temporal limitation of the visualisation of the saved data
• Choice of the type of training
• Creation of training circuits
