That is where I see trainers being used. For our purposed resistance makes things less fruitful. I specifically purchased rollers to not have much resistance. Resistance was/is done in the gym and climbing hills.
Purpose not to have resistance.
Spinning out after a workout.
Spinning out before a workout / race.
Getting cadence.
Getting rpms in your legs.
To some degree handling / smoothness.
