One of the unique features of the WATT bike is that it can show you your pedalling technique in real time on the attached monitor. The image displayed on the monitor is called the force curve (please see figure 1) and it shows you two things (i) the force applied to the pedals and (ii) the position of the pedals when applying this force on the down stroke. The advantage of this test is that it can quickly identify if the right and left leg are applying equal force or not, and also if the angle to peak force is equal for each leg. The sports scientist administering the test will interpret your curve for you and provide you with the appropriate feedback to improve your pedalling technique.

Pedalling Technique Test (cyclists only)

Figure 1: The force curve.

The shape of this curve is dictated by the force applied to the pedal by each leg and the position of the pedals when applying this force.
