Imagine a perfect road to ride a bicycle, not because it is firm and soft (which is), but because there are no other vehicles, one decides the extension, you can select if it is part of a mythical route (does the tourmalet sound to you?) And, at the same time (if that were not enough) around you you can clearly see your speed, your caloric expense, the distance traveled, the accumulated slope … Ah! AND You can talk directly with more than 1 million people without raising the voice. All that is Zwift.
The skeleton is a stationary bicycle, the muscle is a connected resistance that recreates the difficulty of the circuit and the brain is the set of data given by the equation of our height and weight due to speed, cadence, distance and other more variables. Thanks to this We have a “laboratory” that allows us to train when the external conditions are not the best. And when we want to obtain as much benefit as possible from the information.
Now, this global training platform for cyclists presents A series of novelties under Fitness Trends umbrella. This function will allow users to deepen even more in the monitoring of their state over time.
For example, by clicking on Objective and forming blocks of form on the start screen of Zwift Companionyou can access a series of graphics that will show the training objectives, the ZWIFT streak (basically the constancy), the historical training state and its historical training score.
All graphics can be filtered for periods of time, which facilitates a rapid and clear understanding of the training history. That is the first of the updates and from July 15 too You can access more data fields in the HUD (the front display screen) configurablelocated in the upper left of the Zwift screen.
In addition to the most common fields, such as average speed and middle watts, Now more advanced metrics will be available. For those who use dual power meters, the left/right power balance can be shown in real time.
On the other hand, training in heat conditions has become a topic of interest among high -level cyclists, and Zwift has been associated with Core Body early to also incorporate Core body temperature and heat stress index (Core HSI) to the configurable HUD. The Core thermal sensor can match a heart rate through the CORE application to connect as a portable ZWIFT device.
Among the available metrics thanks to this update, the HUD will show these parameters on the screen:
Average speed: Average rhythm on the bicycle.
Watts/kg Media: Power relative to body weight.
Core temperature: Body temperature; If you upload too much, your performance is low.
Core Hsi: Heat stress index: how much your body strives to stay fresh.
Balance I/D.: Pedaling symmetry: maximum power, without waste.
Partial times of turns.
The complete system, in this way, becomes one of the most advanced forms of “sports gamification”: on the one hand, we have Most of the essential measures to train and evaluate our progress And, at the same time, we can select, without moving from the room, circuits around the world and traveling them while we form a community. And we challenge her.
