When you sign up for the study, we will confirm that you meet inclusion criteria, and send you instructions on how to download the study app, how to connect your TrainingPeaks account with ours, and how to sync your Zwift account to your TrainingPeaks account.
Once you have completed those three steps, we will send an email confirming when you are scheduled to participate in the two Key Workouts.
Key Workout 1 will be in the afternoon or evening, at a time at date you select when signing up for the study.
Key Workout 2 will be 48 hours later – i.e., same time, two days later.
48 hours before you are scheduled to participate in Key Workout 1, you will start receiving notifications from the study app.
Each notification will ask you to complete a study questionnaire that should take less than one minute to complete.
You will receive a regular notification once randomly within each two hour block of the day.
e.g., Once randomly between 9:00 am and 11:00 am, once randomly between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm, etc.
You will not receive notifications before 7:00 am or after 11:00 pm.
In the hour before each Key Workout, you will be asked to complete the PRE Key Workout Questionnaire.
This questionnaire is slightly longer (5-10 minutes), with a couple extra questions about the types of recovery you used in the past two days.
After completing each Key Workout, you will be asked to complete the POST Key Workout Questionnaire.
This questionnaire is slightly longer (5-10 minutes), with a couple extra questions about how your workout went.
The PRE and POST Key Workout Questionnaires are VERY IMPORTANT. Please make sure you complete them.
After completing the POST Key Workout 2 Questionnaire, you are done the study!
Within 24 hours, we will send you an individual report and delete the connection between TrainingPeaks accounts.
You can also delete the study app at this time.
