Validation of a Mathematical Model for Road Cycling Power.

This investigation sought to determine if cycling power could be accurately modeled. A mathematical model of cycling power was derived, and values for each model parameter were determined. A bicycle-mounted power measurement system was validated by comparison with a laboratory ergometer. Power was measured during road cycling, and the measured values were compared with the values predicted by t...

Power output during a professional men's road-cycling tour.

PURPOSE To quantify the power-output demands of men's road-cycling stage racing using a direct measure of power output. METHODS Power-output data were collected from 207 races over 6 competition years on 31 Australian national male road cyclists. Subjects performed a maximal graded exercise test in the laboratory to determine maximum aerobic-power output, and bicycles were fitted with SRM pow...

Calibration of a Power-Speed-Model for Road Cycling Using Real Power and Height Data

The relationship between the pedaling power and the speed with road cycling can be described in the form of a dynamical system, that accounts for the inertia and several kinds of mechanical friction. Six out of twelve involved constant parameters are known or can be measured, whereas the determination of the remaining six parameters is prohibitive and depends on the specific cyclist, the bicycl...
