selected for analysis
2)
“Ride Time” is the total time of the distance analyzed
3)
“Propulsion Power” is the average power produced by the cyclist for
the period analyzed
4)
“Wasted Watts” is the
total
watts wasted, due to side-to-side and
front-to-back motion. Beneath the Wasted Watts are the percentage
watts split between front-to-back and side-to-side
5)
“Total Wasted Joules” is the energy wasted for the distance analyzed,
due to Wasted Motion
6)
“Total Wasted Motion” is the total distance wobbled during the down-
the-road distance
7)
“Wasted Time” is an indicator of how much time was wasted due to
Wasted Motion. This indicator assumes that 100% of wasted watts is
converted into Propulsion Watts
PowerStroke Wasted Watts Gauge
This gauge shows the Wasted Watts for the data analyzed. The colors in
the gauge correspond to the box colors in the Wasted Motion plot.
