A much more accurate way to look at it is this chart from Data Cranker, which shows the average watts per kilogram (W/kg) that cyclists at different abilities typically can maintain for time periods of 5 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes and 60 minutes. That chart shows that a Cat 5 (lo...
With three strain gauges per arm this more accurately measures forces like 'pedal smoothness' and 'torque efficiency' this results in data accuracy well within the claimed ±1%. If you think you have the legs the 4iiii can absurd 4,000 watts, across 30-170 RPM. ...
Watts will vary for weight, but that's a good baseline. Watt It Means (har har) Completing this course in the upper levels of the A pack requires being able to hold 500w efforts for 1min 15 times. In universal terms that's about 6.9w/kg for 1min efforts. Oh Yes - Recovery Oh,...
As usual, my fitness tailed off in the autumn and I took time to recharge before another winter of indoor training. Those are the similarities between 2020 and 2021. Zooming into this year’s chart in detail highlightssome of the differences. In 2020 I reached max fitness in January, wherea...
(i.e., the last three weeks), they were requested to cycle at an intensity equivalent to an OMNI-RPE score of 6 (i.e., somewhat hard). The participants cycled a mean load per session of 18.2 (SD −2.9) watts with their arms and 35.5 (SD −4.7) watts with their legs in the...
s not perfect yet. If we imagined the Digital Swiss 5 playing out in broadcast quality studios with teams of fans around them instead of isolated in their living rooms, it’d probably increase the engagement level. If we imagined 2-3 camera angles per ride in a crispy resol...
Still, this is short of the official 13° of official movement per their current spec sheet. However, that’s because the official 13° of tilt is actually the total left/right range (at 6.5° each), which frankly seems a pretty wonky way of measuring that. ...
The resting stage was zero watts, which was the baseline, and was then increased by 25 W in the consecutive stages. The physical load was increased by 25 W per stage until the participant was exhausted or was unable to maintain 60 rpm within one min. Subsequently, the patient was in a...
The next section describes the power output, and as Watts can be converted to kilocalories, how an inference can be performed on the calorific expenditures exerted by the participants through various stages of the race. It is understood that a number of inferences (and thus potential inaccuracies...
