5.3 Indoor Cycling Platform
(extracted from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zwift
“Zwift is a multiplayer online cycling and running physical training program that enables
users to interact, train and compete in a virtual world.
Zwift allows players to ride their bicycles on stationary trainers while navigating through
six virtual worlds (Watopia, Richmond, London, Innsbruck, Yorkshire, and New York - a
seventh world, Bologna, is available for certain time trial events, and an eighth, Crit City,
is available for short, criterium-style, races).
Players may cycle freely around the game world and join organised group rides, races
or workouts with other users. Zwift uses ANT+ or Bluetooth Low Energy technologies to
transmit data that, in combination with athlete weight and equipment choices, is used to
convert the athlete's efforts as speed and power (watts). "Smart" trainers, which include
a built-in power meter, permit accuracy in the measurement of watts as well as enabling
an immersive technology experience, where resistance is applied or lessened to
simulate the gradient encountered on the virtual course.
Zwift estimates the power of users on conventional trainers via the user's cadence and
the power curve of a wide range of specified trainers.”
5.4 Event Venue
All events will be home-based.
