Technical Coaching Services.

Our Technical Coaching Services can help you if you are looking for an edge in your triathlon or cycle racing and training. We have qualified triathlon and cycle coaches who have race experience from Sprint distance to Ironman, Crit racing to Stage races and time trials.

We offer individual private one on one sessions to help you be more efficient, identify areas of improvement and look at how you move, when to attack, how long to go for and what you can do to remove all the ways to may be slowing yourself down in racing and training.

Have a lok through the services we offer, and feel free to Contact Us for more information or to speak to a coach who can help. You can also book sessions right from the bottom of the page. Just click the Book Session link in the menu.

Private one on one Swim Sessions.

Onebody provides private one on one Swim Sessions to analyse your freestyle stroke and help you improve your swim technique and efficiency in the water. Swimming is about efficiency and reducing drag, not about how hard you can pull your arms through the water.

To reduce your drag, you want to reduce the amount of frontal surface area that you have in the water. Sessions can be provided from beginner swimmers looking to enter the sport of swimming, open water swimming and triathlon or multi sport events and more advanced swimmers looking for further ways to improve their swimming efficiency and speed.

These swim sessions include:

  • One on one session in a private indoor heated 25m pool
  • Identifying key areas for development
  • Specific drills addressing areas for improving swim technique and efficiency
  • Personalised feedback
  • Identifying key areas for improving flexibility and mobility
  • Videos and descriptions of drills
  • Private Swim sessions for open water swim technique and tips
  • Private Swim sessions for freestyle stroke correction

For further information and to book a private swim session please contact Nadene Moore on 02 8677 5605

Functional Threshold Power (FTP) Testing.

So, what is FTP? Functional Threshold Power (FTP) is — quite simply — a measure of fitness. FTP represents the power (measured in watts) that you could theoretically maintain for about an hour, and it’s a great metric used to plan an execute your workouts, as well as track your progress to keep your fitness growing.

With regards to what’s taking place within your body and the muscles themselves, riding at your FTP pushes you right up to that limit where pushing any harder will drastically limit the duration of your ride. But as long as you stay just below that acidic tipping point where your muscles light up and uncomfortably tolerable minutes become barely tolerable seconds, your muscles are in balance with the workload – for about an hour, anyway. It is an important test for anyone who wants to use their cycling power meter effectively and those looking at riding longer events where your success is determined by your ability to hold consistent power.

An FTP Test establishes your wattage at a point in time and duration which corresponds closely to your lactate threshold (LT) when cycling. once you have determined your FTP, you can program specific power training zones enabling you to optimise your training sessions and racing strategy. An FTP test is non-invasive and provides you with your training power profile. Our protocol requires approximately 80 mins and allows us to accurately determine your FTP.

An FTP assessment is a snapshot of your fitness at any point in time. By measuring your fitness and assigning it a number, we can track changes in your fitness over weeks, months, even years. Frequent testing every 6-8 weeks, during both off-season and race season, enables you to track changes in your FTP and adjust your training programs accordingly.

The data collected from the test will be used to set your threshold power during Onebody Power Cycle sessions in the Indoor Cycling studio.

An FTP test with Onebody includes:

  • Testing protocol in a controlled environment
  • Identification of Power Training zones & corresponding heart rate zones
  • Identification of Triathlon specific race zones based on power and heart rate
  • Brief guide to training with a power meter
  • Provides a monitor for your training improvements over time
  • Accurately determine your current fitness and performance levels
  • Additionally you, or your coach can use the data to prescribe detailed training sessions to plan and monitor your training structure and prepare for specific
  • triathlon race distances knowing how to evenly pace the bike split and still run well off the bike.

Power Profile Testing.

Are you more of a Sprinter or a Time Triallist? Ok responding to attacks but don’t feel you have the ability to attack yourself and stay away? Power Profile testing with Onebody will help you identify your strengths and areas of improvement and help classify your ability against several profile types and where you sit in terms of performance against the best in the world.

The Onebody Power Profile & Analysis identify’s the type of rider you are and where you are strongest, as well as key areas of your riding to work on. A Power Profile test looks at your ability over various timed efforts such as short explosive sprints, 1 minute and 10 minute efforts. It is an effective way of finding a cyclists strengths and weaknesses and applying specific training to overcome them.

From there, your training can be adapted to focus on key aspects to develop your Power Profile whether it be Neuromuscular Power, VO2 max or FTP to improve your performance in races such as Criteriums, Road Racing or Time Trialling. We recommend re-testing every 8-12 weeks during a regular training phase.

Onebody Power Profile Test includes:

  • Testing protocol in a controlled environment
  • Power Profile testing over various time intervals
  • Power Profile report and classification
  • Identification of strengths and areas to develop based on power
  • Identifying where your racing and training can be targeted for performance and improvement
  • Additionally you, or your coach can use the data to prescribe detailed training sessions to plan and monitor your training structure and prepare for you for your racing season.
