A large number of power meters have become commercially available during the last
decades to provide power output (PO) measurement. Some of these power meters were …

Although bicycling and walking involve similar complex coordinated movements,
surprisingly Parkinson's patients with freezing of gait typically remain able to bicycle despite …

Measurements of oxygen uptake are central to methods for the assessment of physical
fitness and endurance capabilities in athletes. Two important parameters extracted from …

In road cycling, the pacing strategy plays an important role, especially in solo events like
individual time trials. Nevertheless, not much is known about pacing under varying …

This contribution discusses several use cases of mathematical models for road cycling. A
mechanical model for the pedaling forces is the basis for an accurate indoor ergometer …

It is well established that wind resistance is responsible for most of the metabolic cost of
cycling in level ground. Aerodynamic drag is about 80% of the total resistive force in road …

Lately, modeling and optimizing endurance performance has become popular. Optimal
strategies have been calculated for running as well as for cycling. Since most of these …

The relationship between the pedaling power and the velocity with road cycling can be
described in the form of a dynamical system, that accounts for the inertia and several kinds …

We present a mathematical model of road cycling on arbitrary routes using the Frenet–Serret
frame. The route is embedded in the coupled governing equations. We describe the …

Measurements of oxygen uptake and blood lactate content are central to methods for
assessment of physical fitness and endurance capabilities in athletes. Two important …
