Cycling validation project
Spring, 2026
Whitepaper Validation Study Overview
-
Technical validation of physiological estimation model
-
Cross-comparison with standardized ramp testing
-
Field evaluation of AI-generated workouts
-
Applied research focused on real-world usability
-
Limited enrollment (20 qualified cyclists in phase 1)
Study details
Experienced cyclists are invited to participate in an applied validation whitepaper conducted in collaboration with Riduck.
​
The study examines whether six weeks of real-world training data can estimate Aerobic Threshold, VOâ‚‚max, and FATMAX with reasonable agreement to a standardized ramp test, and whether AI-generated VOâ‚‚max and Zone 2 workouts are aligned with their intended training purpose.
​
Participation includes training data review, a controlled ramp test, execution of two AI-prescribed sessions, and structured feedback.
​
Participants Recieve:
-
Standardized ramp test with VO2max and metabolic results
-
Estimated AT and FatMax results
-
AI-generated VO2max and Zone 2 workouts
​
Testing window: mid-February through March
Enrollment limited to 20 qualified participants
If eligibility criteria are met, proceed to the screening form below.
​
All testing is conducted under applied sports physiology oversight at the Rocky Mountain Devo testing facility. Larger controlled comparative studies are planned in subsequent phases.
