You got me. Its modern day mumbo jumbo for training using electronic devices.
Best way to get better at cycling is to get a traditional track bike with a fixed gear of 63-67 inches. Ride as much as you can maintaining a high pedaling rate. Cruising down hills in a 63" gear will get your rpm way high. After several weeks go back to your road bike and you'll fly.
