Konaman Posted July 31, 2010 Share Has anybody got the calculation to use when riders do a hill climb. we have a race soon and i wants to calculate power output per rider. i think you require the distance, the time and the total ascent. (it is a 435m climb in 4km where the race is held) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudi-h Posted July 31, 2010 Share here are some links. The first link is an on-line calculator and is easy to use, but you'll have to convert all the units from km/hr to mile/hr. work out the average speed and average gradient, and then it'll give you the average power required to climb the hill. http://www.exploratorium.edu/cycling/aerodynamics1.html http://www.analyticcycling.com/ForcesPower_Page.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted August 2, 2010 Share For interesting analyses of power outputs (and some info on power estimations and calculations) in the Tour de France, see Ross Tucker's site: http://www.sportsscientists.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
