TrainSmarter Performance Testing
We will all agree new advances in equipment, training programs, sport nutrition... do make a difference in how the "Pros" are performing today compared to 20 - 30 years ago. And even at the competitive level the majority of us are at, we also all know that at the end of the day, the best-conditioned athlete will usually succeed. A finely tuned athlete using the newest equipment, the most effective individualized training programs supported with the best sports nutrition is what it takes to be the best one can be. But what about the guy/gal who finished second or third. What do they need to do in order to improve their performance to bring them to the top? The obvious answer would be to either purchase better equipement, train harder and/or take better supplements...! But is it?Here is a short description of the testing system we are presently using:
During our FaCT Lactate Assessment , blood samples are taken from the fingertips while you exercise at gradually increasing efforts. At the same time, heart rate, breathing rate, perceived exertion, oxygen saturation levels, POLAR RLX rating and other key data is gathered and plotted, giving our trainers valuable insights in to your exercising body. To our trainer's expert eyes these results are easy to use, practical and as accurate as you could possibly get. They include your lactate balance point (LBP), peak effective power/ speed and other important findings that will help you make the most of your training.
Laser Precision Wobble - Naught Bike Fitting
What is the Wobble-Naught Laser Precision Bike Fitting?
Are you one of these riders who believe that their present bike simply has never felt right? Are you experiencing back, neck, shoulder, or wrist pain when riding? Knee, foot, or ankle pain? Do your hands, feet, or saddle region ever go numb? Are you looking to maximize the comfort and performance of your bicycle.
Whether you are a recreational or competitive rider, proper bicycle fit is critical to insure comfort and efficiency, making every ride a little more enjoyable. Proper bike fit, in tandem with improved pedaling mechanics, will allow you to ride faster, longer and more efficiently.
Train Smarter - Not Harder Coaching offers you the very best in bike fitting. Our certified & professional Wobble - Naught Certified bike fitter Michel Pelletier will put you in the optimal position for both comfort and efficiency.
When performing the Wobble-Naught Fit we will only use proven principles of bio-mechanics, anthropometric measurements and aerodynamics to find the position most conducive to each cyclist's riding style, as well as reducing the risk of injury. Helping you find a neutral spine position that allows for maximum transfer of power to the pedals while maintaining efficiency and posture will not only reduce your risk of injury, but will lead to improved performance.
There's no better methodology for measurement of the human body, we unveil details of performance that can't be discerned by just looking at someone on their bike. By taking into account precise measurements of the foot, legs, hips, spine, shoulders, and arms we provide precise alignment for a total body fit. This process provides perfect cleat placement, saddle fore/aft, saddle height/tilt, stem rise/length needs, and handlebar position, the end result is pure comfort! A Wobble-naught fit keeps bikers riding longer, faster, and more comfortable than they thought possible. Our solutions were developed through the use of computer aided design technology (CAD) and precise measurements of anatomy to make the bike an extension of the cyclist.
