Bike pedalling technique with GARMIN app
Efficiency and speed
The correct bike pedalling technique can increase performance, speed, reduce fatigue and prevent injuries.
Data measured with GARMIN devices provides a realistic picture of cyclists' pedaling technique and helps correct mistakes. The app can be downloaded to smartwatches and Edge devices.
Data analysis
The Bikepedalling app uses six data to improve bike pedalling technique: Cadence, Power, Speed, Balance, Smoothness (S), Torque effectiveness (TE).
Recommendations
The app helps you improve your cycling technique. It shows you which data you need to improve and tracks your progress.
Correct bike pedalling
The
bike pedalling technique is appropriate when all graphs are blue. The
app helps you to set the right value by showing the orange and red
graphs enlarged. Errors in bike pedalling technique can be corrected by
using the graphs.
Pedalling quality (PQ)
In the Bikepedalling app, the data measured by
Garmin is displayed graphically in the form of a chart or graph. This
gives you an accurate picture of the quality of your bike pedalling and
allows you to correct any errors.
The features are very easy to set up and help you develop.
We have created a quality indicator and a mathematical formula that summarises all the data measured by Garmin on bike pedalling quality in a single formula. The Bikepedalling app helps you track your progress.
The Bikepedalling app is currently suitable for indoor use.
Indoors, bike pedalling errors are much easier to detect and correct than outdoors.
These aspects are taken into account when assessing the quality of bike pedalling:
1. How conscious is your bike pedalling? How consistent is the performance?
2. Are there any recurring errors and to what extent?
3. How far does the performance of the two feet diverge?
4. How similar are the bike pedal circles?
Download the Bikepedalling app to your
Garmin device and use it during your workouts sessions.
