With the coming of new road and mtb bycicle frames with thru-axle, MagneticDays meets this additional need that, however, must necessarily justify a slight price increase. From 2019, March 1st, the price of JARVIS will increase from € 1900 to € 1990. The new MD Kit for ROAD BIKE and MTB bycicle frames with thru-axle will be inclused in the package and 12 workouts of HTT Methodology are included in the purchase price as always.

New MD Kit are already available in the accessories section of our website, for all of those who have already purchased JARVIS also and are thinking about buying a new bycicle frame with thru-axle.

We are proud to announce that MagneticDays is the new It’s Tuscany Ambassador. It’s Tuscany is a territorial marketing international project born of the idea to combine the history and traditions of an historical land like Tuscany. The artisanal knowledge, love for Tuscany, food and wine traditions, uniqueness of each single Tuscan land, technology and innovation, are intelligently mixed on It’s Tuscany website.. all just a click away!

“MagneticDays is one of the Tuscan excellences that we are proud and happy to host on our international platform – It’s Tuscany said – thanks to its innovation and technology Made in Tuscany also.”

“IT’S TUSCANY is a top partner to take advantage of our territorialy! – the MD CEO Marco Sbragi said.

Knowledge, innovation and technology are the key factors of MagneticDays smart trainer with the goal to build a culture of continuous improvement in a field like training indoor for cycling, triathlon and mountain bike.

The MagneticDays Training Philosophy has changed the concept of cycling simulator into a true “cycling lab” where is possible to work entirely on the body of each athlete, having at our disposal all his reference parameters that are clear and measurable by a scientific approach to training.

Our HTT Methodology represent the most scientific built training programs that are currently possible (from physical and mental wellness to biomedical research), and each workout is totally customed for each athlete, exciting and fun at the same time. Yes, because the indoor training has never been so fun with MagneticDays. Each HTT workout is characterized by continuous changes in rhythm and resistance (from 60 to 80 on average), working with parameters like Watt, Newton, RPM, progression/regression, Auto Watt, Auto Newton, Ideal Rhythms, Joule progression, Offset and more. Every workout is never the same to others (because it are customed for each athlete in every moment) and every test is never a simple test but a real workout. Scientific approach to training and fun are mixed in MagneticDays, with the goal to give the best training experience and top product to all of users, from all points of view.

What’s better than being able to train and have fun at the same time? Currently, MagneticDays offers two “playful possibilities” among its 10 ways to use:

 

Our customer support is one of the most appreciated services. From January 2019, a new MagneticDays Help Center will available. This new service will be totally online, with a direct access at the reference page from the menu of MD website, where you will can find all the best answers to your questions: FAQs continually updated, guidelines and video tutorial. And last but not the least, we will activate the HELP CALL (paid service), a new priority assistance request.

The new MD Help Centre will be online very soon, and we will inform you through our newsletter, website and official social media channels.

MagneticDays continues to improve its quality and online services, giving to all users and clients the chance to writing a workout by the personal account on MagneticDays website, where is possible to access to the function named Training Composer.

“We decided to give everyone the chance to write their own workout by accessing directly from the personal account – MD company said in a note – because our users and clients are not always able to have their PC (with the MD software installed) at your fingertips. In addition, we continue to work on the fluency and navigation of the MD website, with the goal to improve our services that are mainly supplied online.”

The control panel is already available in basic mode, but it can be implemented gradually in its functions by purchasing of different types of plugins available on MD shop from half of January 2019.

Have you downloaded recently the MD App WiFi and are you ready to start your workout? Sounds good.. everything is ready!

How do you say? Training stopped after 10 minutes? Have you disabled or modify the “Warning Notification” option in the My Account menu?

“Warning Notification” involves the immediate interruption of workout at the max Threshold Heart Rate value reached. You can disable or modify this value in the My Account menu (default is 120 bpm) based on your needs. This novelty was launched in occasion of the Regional Operational Programme (ROP) by the European Regional Development Fund and co-financed by Tuscany Region, where MagneticDays has been selected with its biomedical project named Bio-MagneticDays – developed in R.T.I. (Temporary grouping of of companies) – with the goal to bring a five-year experience in the world of indoor training for cycling through the use of the one and only indoor training system based on a scientific approach in the field of medical rehabilitation.

 

The Self-Calibrating Workout on JARVIS smart trainer is a type of workout studied by MagneticDays, in collaboration with the University of Verona, that can be used as a “guideline” in case you do not have the support of an MD Coach (different from the HTT – High Tech Training methodology), which, to date, represents the top possible scientific personalization of a training carried out on any type of smart trainers currently on the market, and with the supervision of a Coach. Specifically, Self-Calibrating Workout represents a series of protocols designed to allow the user/athlete to perform a good workout when the optimal conditions for doing so are lacking. Here’s what Simone Buracchi, head of the MD technical area, had to say.

 

Self-Calibrating MD Workout: why and when to use it

Self-Calibrating Workout is the most effective training that can be done – if done well – without the presence of a Coach. Normally, when performing an incremental test, the MD Coach observes the results and accurately identifies the frequency threshold values, with the aim of setting the first cycle of tailor-made workouts. On the other hand, with Self-Calibrating Workout, the Coach cannot personally verify what the user/athlete has done, and the protocol we studied in collaboration with the University of Verona comes into play. We evaluated the individual incremental tests by observing where the threshold was placed on average with respect to the last step performed according to the protocol used. In the case of the 1:6 protocol (1 watt every 6 seconds) the threshold fell on average around 82% – 80% of the last work step completed, while in the 1:3 protocol (1 watt every 3 seconds) the threshold fell on average around 76% – 74% of the last work step completed.

The only “scientific” aspect taken into consideration for the drafting of the self-calibrating protocol (i.e. the data as close as possible to reality), is to understand how much, at a statistical level, the threshold is set with respect to the type of protocol used, without having a Coach. This type of training, performed with this criterion and specific for the required methods, is used to evaluate the condition of the user/athlete at a precise moment. While our classic incremental test is performed after 25/30 minutes from having performed an adequate warm-up first and some exercises after, the self-calibrating workout is performed at the beginning of the training (protocol 1:3, 1 watt every 3 seconds) right after a short warm-up phase. Nonetheless, I’d like to remind everybody that behind the infinite possibilities offered by the JARVIS indoor training system there is always and in any case knowledge. This tool can do anything, and does everything the coach tells it to do. With this concept in mind, we structured the self-calibrating workout by telling the instrument, once the user/athlete finishes the test, to analyze the last work step completed by subtracting a previously estimated X value. Consequently the second part of the exercise is structured automatically on the basis of the values calculated at that precise moment. It goes without saying that, for greater accuracy, the support of an MD Coach is always recommended. However, we believe that this way we can provide accurate data with the aim of delivering a test that is appropriate at the precise moment in which it is used.

How is an MD Self-Calibrating Workout structured?

The first part of the self-calibrating workout consists of the incremental test (warm-up + 1:3 protocol). With this type of protocol (1 watt every 3 seconds), which lasts less than the classic 1:6, the user/athlete feels more fatigue but for a shorter time. The test is certainly shorter in terms of duration but with a wider gap regarding the rounding of the data. The second part, on the other hand, consists of the workout that the instrument processes with the values based on the incremental test just performed.

 

In which cases is Self-Calibrating Workout on MD smart trainers recommended?

We normally recommend it anytime you don’t feel 100% of your normal psychophysical condition. That is to say, if you feel intensely fatigued and a particular workout assigned by your MD Coach (who deems you in suitable conditions to carry it out) requires too big an effort, the self-calibrating workout option comes into play with the aim of providing an assessment of the user’s/athlete’s state of fitness at that moment. So feel free to do this workout whenever you feel that your condition is not at its best. This is an effective training, but keep in consideration that the actual calculation of the threshold value is always better than an estimated one.

The new release 6.0.7 of MD Training PC software is available now. Download it from APP section of our website. This version improve the previous (6.0.5) adjusting some software bugs.

J-BIKE is one of the latest innovations by MagneticDays. It was launched for the first time on the Asiatic marketplace in 2017, and includes all the high performance technology of JARVIS. J-BIKE is more than a traditional indoor bike. It’s a complete and high performance indoor training system for high quality training, created to meet the needs of fitness and wellness centers that always required a specific product.

The 2018 Italian Rowing Champion Chiara Sacco of Rowing Master Italian Team, is one of the athlete who has chosen to train with J-BIKE. The futuristic design was made by the Tuscan architect Gianfranco Caprai, who is specialized in product design. J-BIKE is programmable to work in multi session also, an additional plus for all the fitness and wellness centers which can monitor the personal improvements of their customers in real time, through real and reproducible data, thanks to the high quality and one-of-a-kind product able to “build” specific trainings for all the people in every moment (depending on their needs).

The world of indoor training is changing. The pace of innovation is accelerating exponentially and MagneticDays is always in front. Day by day.

New release 2.3.0 of App MD WiFi is already available for iOS and Android. It includes many innovations as:

 Added Heart Rate Threshold control icon

 Added “curves simulation” during the race modality

 Added “virtual target” during the race modality

 Added “workouts grouping” by type

 Improved data visualization on workout screen

The mission of POR CREO 2014-2020 – sponsored by the Region of Tuscany, the Regional Operational Program (ROP) of the European Regional Development Fund – is to contribute to the implementation of European Union strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, promoting economic, social and territorial cohesion.

MagneticDays has been selected to participate in this project, with its biomedical project named Bio MagneticDays – developed in R.T.I. (Temporary grouping of companies). The goal is to bring a five-year experience in the world of indoor training for cycling through the use of the one and only indoor training system based on a scientific approach in the field of medical rehabilitation.

“Our goal – said the CEO of MagneticDays – is to improve what is already on the market by developing technological models suitable for use in the field of medical rehabilitation, through the trial of two prototypes of indoor training systems in water. We are very proud and honored that the high quality of MagneticDays – which has always distinguished itself from the research, experimentation and innovation point of view – has also been recognized at the European level.”

 

The Bio MagneticDays Project

The project is the result of a partnership amongst companies from different trades (precision mechanics, aerospace and railway mechanics, electronics and medicine) with the active collaboration of two important Italian Universities: University of Pisa – Faculty of Medicine and Department of Cardiology (incremental test protocols, collection of data and its scientific validation), and University of Verona – Department of Neuroscience, Biomedicine and Science of Exercise  (rehabilitation).

Bio MagneticDays Project is the result of experience and enthusiasm of many users and people who believe in a unique indoor cycling training system based on a scientific approach, and who understand that this approach can be expanded in areas other than sports.

Heart patients, diabetics, traumatized patients and obese persons, are just some of the subjects interested in exploiting the full potential of an indoor training system like MD that allows you to control the pedaling movement accurately, in order of 0.5 Newton.

 

The highest technology in the simplest gesture in the world

“The Bio MagneticDays Project will see the JARVIS become an instrument able to satisfy both the needs of scientific research and medical rehabilitation – MD CEO Marco Sbragi said – starting from the study of water mechanics, and implementing prototypes which are being tested by our company.”

The highest technology in the simplest gesture in the world – as the pedaling movement – and all the best strategies to obtain a targeted outcome. This is a revolution and innovation for our company (like the one started a few years ago with the launch of a new innovative product for cycling – the JARVIS) that looks with enthusiasm and expertise at the world of medical rehabilitation. And this is just the beginning, an amazing research and experimentation opportunity, thanks to the POR CREO by the Tuscany Region.
