To calculate the Cycling Watts Per Kg:
\[ WPK = \frac{W}{KG} \]
Where:
Cycling Watts Per Kg, also known as power-to-weight ratio, is a measurement used by cyclists to compare their performance. It is calculated by dividing the cyclist’s power output in watts by their body weight in kilograms. This ratio is important because it determines a cyclist’s ability to overcome gravity while climbing. The higher the watts per kilogram, the better a cyclist’s performance, especially in uphill or mountainous terrains.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ WPK = \frac{300}{70} = 4.29 \text{ W/Kg} \]
The Cycling Watts Per Kg is 4.29 W/Kg.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ WPK = \frac{250}{65} = 3.85 \text{ W/Kg} \]
The Cycling Watts Per Kg is 3.85 W/Kg.
