Reducing the weight of the bike + rider by 1 kg would increase speed by 0.01 m/s at 9 m/s on the flat (5 seconds in a 32 km/h (20 mph), 40-kilometre (25 mile) time trial). The same reduction on a 7% grade would be worth 0.04 m/s (90 kg bike + rider) to 0.07 m/s (65 kg bike + rider).
The Elliptical Vs. Running Vs. Cycling: How They Compare. The elliptical and running are both great forms of cardio, but the biggest difference between the two is impact, says Rothstein. The ...
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. Dr.
Walking vs. Cycling For Weight Loss If you want to burn body fat, you’ll want to get your heart rate into Zone 2 or 3—the threshold states where your body burns fat as fuel—either while ...
The individual with the higher VO 2 max is running at a lower intensity at this pace than the individual with the lower VO 2 max is. [3] Some studies measure exercise intensity by having subjects perform exercise trials to determine peak power output, [4] which may be measured in watts, heart rate, or average cadence (cycling). This approach ...

The Wingate test has also been used as a basis to design newer tests in the same vein, [4] and others that use running as the exercise instead of cycling. [5] Sprint interval testing such as is similar to the construction of the Wingate test has been shown to increase both aerobic and anaerobic performance.
The "Aerodynamics vs power" section cites an equation similar to this one Cycling Performance Tips, but there is no reference. The values for K1 and K2 are most comparable to the Road Bike case. The values from the Performance Tips site translate into K1=0.0042 (cf. 0.0053) and K2=0.012 (cf. 0.0083).
