Some info on the stats that the "Mowl" app gives us at the end of a workout.
When we finish our Spinning session, the Mowl App gives us some information at the end of the session...a summary of detailed stats and percentages from same.....I'll try and explain these figures using this morning's session as an example.
You're able to go into the Mowl App and analyse any of the previous workouts that you've recorded...this is how to do it.

Open the "Mowl" app on your phone....then click on the burger menu (top right of the screen) The screen below is what you'll see.

Click on workout history...the screen below is revealed

Click on any date where a workout has been recorded....I'm using this morning's class as an example....November 10th...when I click on it, the screen below appears.

This is the screen that we see when we finish our workout. The workout is shown in the graph at the top and below that is the actual workout that you preformed.......if they are identical, you score 100%.....it's impossible to get a higher score than this. If you're relatively accurate with your gear changes and cadence, you'll score well.
For what it's worth, there were occasions this morning where I may have dropped colors for a few seconds (yellow back to green, red back to yellow), or in the case of the final song.....struggled with the cadence...yet it still gave me the 100% score.....event though I know myself that it wasn't perfect.
I'm not sure what the parameters are for the scoring, but if you're close enough to what's required, I feel you'll score well.
Also, as an aside, if you excel a greater effort, you get penalised for same.....if you're supposed to be on yellow, and your working the red zone, this goes against you with regards to your performance score....even though your working harder!
If you slide the screen to the left, the screen below will appear.

This page shows all data we receive from connected devices.
Watt; The top graph is the power we generate throughout the class....this is the figure we see at the bottom left of our phones while doing the session (FTP.....Functional Threshold Power).....when we're on the white zone warming up, it's a low number....when we're blowing bubbles and gasping for air in the red zones, it's considerably higher.
RPM; The middle Graph is our Revolutions Per Minute (cadence). It's rare that we drop below 60, or higher than 120....unless we're flat to the matt sprinting!!
Heart Rate. The last graph may not be displaying if you haven't a heart rate monitor or your watch connected to the mowl app....if you do, it gives you a good reading of how much exertion you did during the session......the rule of thumb for your maximum heart rate is the number 220 less your age...and you consider that as your maximum heart rate....dangerous to go higher than that maximum number.
If you slide to the left again, the following data is displayed

Our performance summary is given.
Start time; time we started our session (9.29am)
Duration; Length of our session (59 mins, so seconds)
AVG. HR; Average Heart Rate (131 BPM's was my average for the hour)
MAX HR; Maximum heart rate recorded this morning was 159. Probably worth noting that we didn't have any sprints in today's session....you could expect to peak a bit higher when we're doing them.
Distance; The total distance calculated for the workout ( I have mine in "MPH".....some members have "KMH".....so reading can vary accordingly.
Average M/H; The average speed travelled over the course of the session.
Total KCAL; The total amount of calories burned during the workout
AVG KCAL/H; The average amount of calories burnt in an hour
...again slide to the left for the final screen below

Avg. Watts: The average Watts you have produced during the workout.
Max Watts: The highest Watt output you reached during the workout.
W/KG: The average Watts you have produced per kilogram of body weight.....don't know how we can use that?
TSS: TSS (TRAINING STRESS SCORE) estimates the amount of stress placed on the body when you work out based on the training intensity and duration. For example, cycling at 100% FTP for an hour is equivalent to a TSS of 100. Training for longer than one hour can result in a TSS greater than 100, even if the intensity is less than FTP.
IF: IF (INTENSITY FACTOR) is a number used when training with power to represent how intense a workout is. The higher the number, the more intense it was. Today's had an IF of 86 which was high compared to 81 and 78 which would have been our last two sessions.
FTP is your 1-hour level, so we know that we can't go harder than our Functional Threshold Power longer than 1 hour. Based on this information, our IF can't be higher than 1.00 from our 1-hour workout or race.
5 sec. avg.: The best 5-second rolling average watts during your workout.
1 min. avg.: The best 1-minute rolling average watts during your workout.
5 min. avg.: The best 5-minute rolling average watts during your workout. If a 5-minute FTP test is performed during the workout, then 85% of this number is equal to FTP.
20 min. avg.: The best 20-minute rolling average watts during your workout. If a 20-minute FTP test is performed during the workout, then 95% of this number is equal to FTP.
60 min. avg.:The best 60-minute rolling average watts during your workout. The fact that today's workout was 10 seconds short of one hour, no reading was given.
Hope the above is of some benefit!
