Cycling power meters enhance training by providing real-time power output data, offering a precise measure of effort beyond traditional metrics. Key concepts include watt measurement, Functional Threshold Power (FTP) for fitness assessment, and power-to-weight ratio for climbing efficiency. These devices help tailor training intensity and track progress, optimizing overall performance.
Power-to-weight ratio (PWR) is one of those metrics that gets a lot of attention in cycling circles, especially when the road starts to tilt upwards. But what exactly does it mean, and how much does it really affect your performance? While PWR is often seen as a predictor of success, it's better thought of as … Continue reading Understanding Power-to-Weight Ratio (PWR) in Cycling | Optimizing Performance
