Measures the individual power output (

Watts

) of the right leg and the left leg. Identifies 

their relative balance both in real-time and over the entire exercise session.
Once selected, the 

Balanced Power 

program continues to run in the background, 

collecting performance data, even while the user works out in other apps.
Performance data is displayed two ways, 

Standard

 and 

Enhanced.

 

Display Screens

Tap to switch between 

Standard

 and 

Enhanced.

Enhanced 

Also uses the bar graphs and line graph 

to display performance. 
Adds graphics to show the radial force 

generated by each leg. 
This identifies where force imbalance 

occurs during rotation.

Standard 

Bar graphs display the current (real time)

power generated by each leg and their 

relative symmetry. 

The line graph displays the percentage 

of balance between the left and right leg 

over the course of the session. 

In the screens at right, the upper screen 

shows that the power output between the 

right and left legs is balanced. 
The lower screen shows that the power 

output of the left leg is greater than the 

right leg and therefore imbalanced.

Balanced

Unbalanced

Balanced Power

To be balanced, the difference in power 

output between legs cannot be greater 

than 10%.
