The WattRate® TFT Computer 2.0, with its own power supply, features a fully integrated TFT colour display and a front LED display. This enables the patented simultaneous display of individual workload to both the user and the trainer. The various screen displays include a wide range of important training data, such as watts, heart rate and cadence, training duration and resistance level. Five mechanical buttons ensure simple and intuitive navigation even during training. Via Bluetooth 5.0, it is possible to exchange training data with external devices (including the ICG® app or ICG® Connect). Furthermore, the new computer also allows flexible FTP value adjustment during the training session.
WattRate Power
Measurement Power measurement in watts marks a new era in indoor cycling. Just as heart rate monitors – originating from professional sport and now widely used – have found their way into mainstream sport, power measurement is also gradually becoming established in this field. Power measurement in watts is playing an increasingly important role in indoor cycling too. WattRate is ICG’s response to this trend. The technology behind it measures the power output in watts and displays it on the WattRate computer. This data can then be used for targeted training control.
Functional Threshold Power (FTP)
Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is one of the key metrics in performance-oriented indoor cycling. But what exactly is this functional threshold power? The FTP parameter is generally defined as the highest wattage output a rider can sustain continuously for one hour in a classic time trial. Viewed in isolation, FTP is therefore the best benchmark in cycling. The higher the value, the more powerful the athlete.
The FTP test determines the individual power threshold and enables the calculation of personal training zones. During a step test, the target power output increases by 25 watts every 4 minutes. The aim is to remain within the specified range (+/- deviation from the target value) for as long as possible. A green zone indicates to the user that they are within the required range. If the zone is red, the deviation from the target value is too great. At the end of the test, the personal FTP value is determined. Based
on the test result, individual training zones can then be defined and displayed in corresponding colours on the WattRate computer. This enables motivating and effective training management for both individuals and entire training groups.
Coach By Color Training Management (Users and Trainers)
Colours are a powerful tool in communication and have universal validity – red means ‘hot’, blue stands for ‘cold’. Managing by colours (Coach By Color) is one of the simplest, most universally applicable and most effective ways of communicating. Colours influence human reactions and interactions in many areas of our lives. The colours used in ICG’s Coach By Color programme are intuitive, well-established and motivating, making them the most suitable method for controlling a user’s intensity during their training. The Coach By Color principle provides the appropriate visual indication at the right time, ensuring a fast, transparent and effective method of training control. The principle of controlling via colours connects the user more closely with the training and also creates a new form of group dynamics in group classes or during training in small groups.
COACH BY COLOR comprises five coloured training zones:
white – very light –
55%blue – light –
56–75%green – moderate –
76–90%yellow – intense –
91–105%red – maximum – 106–150+%
The training zones are based on current power output in relation to the individual FTP value (Functional Threshold Power). The same principle for calculating training zones applies when using maximum heart rate (HR max.) and a compatible chest strap. Once the HR max. or individual FTP value is known, personal training zones can be calculated accordingly, allowing intensity to be displayed using colours during training based on heart rate or watts.
These digital Coach By Colour workouts, developed by ICG Master Trainers, guarantee high-quality and motivating training guidance. Depending on the training goal, different workouts can be selected or created yourself. During training, you simply need to match the colour on the computer screen with that of the workout. Via Bluetooth, it is now possible to upload personal data from the ICG Training App to the WattRate computer and save the data from individual training sessions. This makes monitoring individual training progress even more effective.
ICG TRAINING APPThe ICG Training App
allows you to create, start, save and share workouts. Intuitive navigation enables instructors to configure their own classes, synchronise them with music and then use them during the session. Personal trainers can also conveniently share created training sessions with their clients via the app.
