The Importance of Effort-Based Training to Inclusivity

Cycling has become a real buzz recently, and is set to become even more popular in the future, so combining heart rate training with indoor cycling is definitely growing.

For operators to deliver effort-based training adds an important dimension of inclusivity to indoor cycling. Indoor cycling is often seen as intimidating, with extremely competent cycling instructors taking the class, and an array of regulars trying to keep up. Focusing on effort (through heart rate training) means even beginners can be rewarded for the effort they put in.

It’s not only beginners who benefit from this focus on effort. It’s also crucial to the effective implementation of heart rate training within the class.

The issue with heart rate training in a group exercise environment is it’s only relevant if it’s a consistent metric. Training at a defined heart rate number has no bearing if it isn’t related to each individual’s maximum heart rate — if you ask a 35-year-old to train at 150 beats per minute, they will likely be training at a very different intensity than, for example, a 19-year-old in the same class, or even another 35-year-old.

On the other hand, if heart rate training is delivered based on the percentage of the maximum heart rate and applied in simple colors, it doesn’t matter how fit or unfit participants are, or how old they are. It’s all about effort — how hard each individual is having to push themselves based on their own fitness levels. For this reason, it’s a much easier metric for an instructor to coach to.

To stay a step ahead of the competition in indoor cycling, it is fundamental for operators to begin to look at more than just the basics. Heart rate training is one of those extras that helps motivation, engagement and allows for a level playing field to be achieved.
