I'm considering using a smart trainer to do periodic testing for interested riders in the youth program. Ideally something for a short sprint 5-6 sec, a longer sprint (30 s), aerobic power (3-4 min), and threshold power (20 min). Looks like wahoo has a test called the Full Frontal (who dreams up these names anyway?). Anyone tried this? Especially ways to make the test reproducible approx every 4 months, and other factors to make it reasonably accurate for motivating and defining training.

Have read its best to test when "fresh"
It's perpetually on the to do list. ... but somehow conveniently avoided :-) ...But suppose setting a firm date in the calendar every 3 to 4 months would help ensure it gets done.
