Enter your power output, workout duration, or energy consumption into the wattage cycling calculator to determine your cycling performance.
Wattage Cycling Calculation Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the wattage output for cycling:
Wattage = Energy Consumption (kJ) / (Time Duration (minutes) / 60)
Variables:
- Wattage is the power output in watts.
- Energy Consumption is the amount of energy expended in kilojoules (kJ).
- Time Duration is the duration of the cycling session in minutes.
To calculate the wattage, divide the energy consumption by the time duration (converted to hours). This provides an estimate of your average power output during cycling.
Understanding Wattage Cycling
Wattage cycling is a method used to gauge the intensity and efficiency of cycling workouts. It helps cyclists monitor their performance by quantifying the amount of power generated over a specific duration.
How to Use the Wattage Cycling Calculator?
Follow these steps to effectively use the wattage cycling calculator:
- Enter your power output and time duration in the basic calculator section.
- Alternatively, input your heart rate and workout time in the advanced calculator section.
- Click on “Calculate” to obtain your results.
- Use the “Reset” button to clear all fields for a new calculation.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
Power Output = 250 Watts
Time Duration = 30 minutes
Energy Consumption = 150 kJ
Follow the steps above to calculate the wattage output for this scenario.
