The specific power may be expressed in watts per kilogram of body mass. Active cyclists can produce from 1.0 W/kg (novice female) 2.2 W/kg (average untrained male), 3.0 W/kg (male, fair or female, good [fitness]), and 6.6 W/kg (top-class male athletes) at their functional threshold power (about one hour). 5 W/kg is about the level reachable by ...
In the sport of competitive cycling athlete's performance is increasingly being expressed in VAMs and thus as a power-to-weight ratio in W/kg. This can be measured through the use of a bicycle powermeter or calculated from measuring incline of a road climb and the rider's time to ascend it.
VAM is a parameter used in cycling as a measure of fitness and speed; it is useful for relatively objective comparisons of performances and estimating a rider's power output per kilogram of body mass, which is one of the most important qualities of a cyclist who competes in stage races and other mountainous [citation needed] events.

Katch et al. [12] used workloads of 0.053, 0.067, and 0.080 kp per kg bodyweight, while other researchers have increased the workload even higher, to 0.098 kp per kg bodyweight. [14] The advantage of increasing the workload can show an increased, and therefore more representative, value for peak power in collegiate athletes.
In this guide, Warloski and two other certified cycling coaches share their best advice for optimizing your indoor bike setup, including the mistakes you want to avoid, and getting the most out of ...
Quick Feed’s automatic electronic feeder can be programmed to dispense feed up to 12 times per day. With a capacity of 50 pounds of grain or pellets and 25 pounds of dog/cat food, this feeder is ...
For a 5% grade, each meter of road requires lifting the body weight by 5 cm. The power (watts) is equal to change in gravitational potential energy (joules) per unit time (seconds). For a 60 kilograms (130 lb) rider, the additional power needed is about 30 watts per meter/second of road speed (about 8 watts per km/hour).
