Pedal stroke efficiency / power % during 'pull up'

[PPWTF]

 

I'm trying to figure out what % of pedal stroke power is generated in

the pedaling action from the 6o'clock position through to the 12o'clock

position  - the phase when no direct downward pressure is applied to

the pedal. There is plenty of conversational

reading to suggest that a % of power is generated by a pull phase -

what I'm in need of is a formal / scientific / academic study with

actual figures.......

 

Please post links to research or documents in your reply

 

As you can see, I clearly need help - 7am and I'm posting this... hehehe

 

Thanks in advance for the hubber(s) who come to my rescue

 

(Apologies site admin for duplicating the post - maybe has a better chance of getting an answer in 'Power Training' section?)
