The Measurement of Maximal (Anaerobic) Power Output on a Cycle Ergometer: A Critical Review
Figure 2
(a) Comparison of the torques exerted on the crank at 90 (green dashed line) and 180 rpm (blue line). (b) Data at 180 rpm: (blue line) power exerted on the right crank; (black line) variations in mechanical energy of the right leg; power (red dashed line) output by the leg muscle equal to the difference between and . Area 4, muscle contribution to the increase in during upstroke. At constant crank velocity, area is equal to area . Personal data.
