Pourquoi le home trainer est plus dur que la route ?

Do you feel like your indoor training sessions are much harder than your road rides? It's not just a feeling, it's scientifically proven! In this video, Max and Louis explore in detail why you produce less power and why the perceived effort is higher indoors. We analyze the main reasons: the lack of micro-breaks and inertia that forces you to pedal constantly, the heat stress due to the lack of air cooling, the impact on your hydration, the different muscle activation that neglects the stabilizing muscles, and finally, the enormous mental effort required to stay focused when facing a wall. Discover the figures that show the difference in FTP between indoor and outdoor training and learn how to better manage your sessions to get the most out of them. ____________________ ⏱️ Chapters ⏱️ 0:00 - Intro: Is the indoor trainer harder? 0:48 - The scientific reasons 1:04 - No micro-pauses or freewheeling 2:06 - Thermal stress and cooling 3:23 - Lack of inertia 4:06 - Different muscle work 5:14 - Mental effort and motivation 5:53 - The numbers: What's the difference in power? 7:28 - Conclusion: How to best use a home trainer?
