Improving bike pedalling technique with GARMIN app
Pedal so that all graphs are blue
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.
This is the data we take into account:
1. Cadence
2. Power
3. Speed
4. Balance
5. Smoothness (S)
6. Torque effectiveness (TE)
The app shows which data needs to be corrected
The app helps you improve your bike pedalling technique. It shows which data needs to be improved, and checks the progress.
Bike 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.
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?
Bike pedalling mistakes
The data measured by GARMIN can give you an accurate picture of your bike pedalling technique.
Bike pedalling is a very fast movement, the quality of which can be improved by training.
The Bikepedalling app helps cyclists to correct three mistakes:
- if the two legs exert very different forces,
- if the two legs are alternately loaded,
- if the leg in the back position is suddenly jerked up.
The faults vary in different ways and degrees, but in our experience they are present in everyone.
The Bikepedalling app helps you to reduce these errors and bike pedal as efficiently as possible. We make your movement conscious and smooth.
Expected results of the development of bike pedalling technique
- Less movements
- Longer distance
- Shorter time
Indoor app
The Bikepedalling app is currently suitable for indoor use.
Indoors, bike pedalling errors are much easier to detect and correct than outdoors.
Download the Bikepedalling app to your Garmin device and use it during your workouts sessions.
