Why Power?
Workout duration is easy to measure, but the focus of RST's training
plans is intensity and the most common way of measuring training intensity
on the bike is by using a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM). But heart rate-based
training has its limitations, one being that your HR is subject to
certain conditions such as air temperature, humidity, nervousness
and diet.
Power is a direct measure of the rate
of work produced by a cyclist, therefore power (measured in Watts)
is an excellent guage of training intensity. We also know that power
is directly related to cycling performance. The more power you can
generate, the greater your potential is for getting good results in
races.
Torque and wheel speed are measured within
the hub. The information is then transmitted via digital radio frequency
to a receiver mounted on the seatstay or chainstay of a bicycle which
is wired to a handlebar-mounted cycle computer. The computer makes
the calculations necessary to display a variety of power functions
as well as all the standard cycle computer and heart rate functions.
In the past, the obstacle to using power
to measure intensity on the road or trail was the cost of accurate,
reliable and lightweight equipment. Now, precise power measurement
on a bike is within finanical reach of most of us.
