SELFLOOPS: Advanced Sport Performance Analysis, Trusted by the Italian Cycling Federation

In elite sport, performance is built on data, insight, and precision. SELFLOOPS Sport Performance Platform was designed with this exact philosophy: to provide coaches, sport scientists, and federations with a powerful, advanced system for analyzing, understanding, and optimizing athletic performance.

SELFLOOPS is proudly used by the Italian Cycling Federation (Federazione Ciclistica Italiana), supporting coaches and performance staff in their daily work with professional and development athletes.

Built for Advanced Performance Analysis

SELFLOOPS goes far beyond simple activity tracking. The platform integrates data from multiple sources and wearable devices, including Garmin, Polar, Apple Health, and other leading ecosystems, providing a single, unified performance view.

Key capabilities include:

  • Advanced physiological analysis: heart rate, power, training load, recovery, intensity distribution, and long-term trends
  • Real-time and post-session data visualization
  • Training load modeling and performance progression tracking
  • Multi-sport support for endurance, strength, and hybrid training
  • Scalable architecture, ideal for federations, teams, clubs, and academies

This enables coaches to move from raw data to actionable insights, making smarter decisions about training, recovery, and competition preparation.

Empowering Coaches and Performance Staff

At the Italian Cycling Federation, coaches use SELFLOOPS daily to analyze athlete data, review sessions, and plan training cycles with scientific precision. From youth development squads to elite athletes, the platform supports:

  • Objective evaluation of training quality
  • Long-term performance monitoring
  • Injury prevention through workload management
  • Personalized coaching strategies

The ability to visualize complex performance metrics in a clear and intuitive way allows coaches to focus on what matters most: developing faster, stronger, and more resilient athletes.

A Strategic Partnership

Our 10-year collaboration with the Italian Cycling Federation is a source of great pride. It represents a journey of shared growth, innovation, and performance, built on trust, constant dialogue with elite coaches, and the pursuit of excellence through data-driven training.

We are proud to contribute to the development of Italian cycling and to support the next generation of champions with data-driven performance intelligence.

The Importance of Nutrition for Performance, Health, and Longevity

When we talk about improving fitness or athletic performance, most people immediately think about training—more miles, heavier weights, tougher sessions.

But while training is essential, nutrition is just as important, if not more. What and how we eat affects our energy levels, recovery, body composition, immunity, and even our long-term health outcomes. In fact, the combination of smart training and smart nutrition is one of the most reliable paths to better performance, improved well-being, and greater longevity.

High-quality nutrition helps athletes fuel their workouts, optimize performance, and recover faster. For anyone pursuing health and fitness, it supports metabolic balance, hormonal health, cognitive clarity, and a more resilient body. When nutrition and activity work together, the result is not just better sports performance—it’s a lifestyle that promotes lasting health, confidence, and vitality.

To help guide your nutritional journey, here are three excellent, science-based books we highly recommend.

1. Food Intelligence — Kevin Hall & Julia Belluz

This book explores how the modern food environment shapes our choices, behaviors, and health—often without us realizing it. Hall and Belluz reveal why so many common beliefs about diet are misleading, and how understanding the science of food systems can help us make better decisions. It’s an eye-opening read that blends clarity, evidence, and practical insights.

2. Racing Weight — Matt Fitzgerald

A go-to resource for athletes, Racing Weight explains how to achieve an optimal body composition that enhances performance rather than obsessing over weight. Fitzgerald combines research-based strategies with real-world examples to help athletes fuel properly, train effectively, and avoid common nutrition mistakes. It’s especially useful for endurance athletes who want to balance energy intake with training demands.

3. You Can’t Screw This Up — Adam Bornstein

Bornstein’s book takes a refreshing approach to nutrition—removing guilt, perfectionism, and unnecessary rules. Instead, it focuses on building simple, sustainable habits that fit real life and lead to long-term success. It’s science-backed but approachable, making it a great choice for anyone who wants to improve their health without feeling overwhelmed by strict diets.

Nutrition is not a side project—it’s a core pillar of health, performance, and longevity.

Pairing consistent training with smart, science-based nutrition habits can transform not only the way you perform but the way you feel every day.

A New Enhancement to Our MindBody Integration

At SELFLOOPS, our mission is to simplify the way gyms and clubs connect technology with their daily operations. That’s why we continue to expand and enhance our integrations with leading gym management software systems.

Currently, SELFLOOPS provides automatic synchronization for several platforms, including MindBody, ABC Fitness, ABC Evo, Angular, and Mis Actividades. These integrations save time for gyms by syncing users, classes, and signups across systems, eliminating the need for double data entry and ensuring a smooth experience for both staff and members.

The Next Step for MindBody: Spark Inside the Branded App

We’re excited to announce a new feature that takes our MindBody integration to the next level. For gyms using the branded MindBody smartphone app, it is now possible to add a direct link to the SELFLOOPS Spark app.

Why It Matters

  • Streamlined Experience: Members don’t need to juggle multiple apps—everything is accessible from the gym’s MindBody app.
  • Faster Engagement: Spark opens directly, making it easier for members to track their workouts and results.
  • Brand Consistency: Gyms maintain their branded MindBody app while seamlessly integrating SELFLOOPS technology.
  • Effortless Onboarding: Even first-time users are guided to install Spark, so no one is left behind.
