Improving bike pedaling technique with GARMIN app
Pedal so that all graphs are blue
The bike pedaling 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 pedaling 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 pedaling technique. It shows which data needs to be improved, and checks the progress.
Bike pedalling quality (PQ)
The Bikepedalling app displays the data measured by Garmin in the form of a diagram or graphic. This gives you an accurate picture of the quality of your bike pedaling technique and allows you to correct any errors.
The functions are very easy to set up and help you with your development.
We have developed a quality indicator and a mathematical formula that summarizes all of the bike pedaling quality data measured by Garmin into a single formula. The Bikepedalling app helps you track your progress.
These aspects are taken into account when assessing the quality of bike pedaling:
1. How consciously are you bike pedaling? How consistent is the power output?
2. Are there recurring errors and to what extent?
3. How much does the power of the two feet differ?
4. How similar are the bike pedal circles?
Bike pedaling mistakes
The data measured by GARMIN can give you an accurate picture of your bike pedaling technique.
Bike pedaling is a very fast movement, the quality of which can be improved by training.
The Bikepedalling app helps cyclists to correct three mistakes:
- when the two legs exert very different forces,
- when the two legs are alternately loaded,
- when the leg in the rear position is suddenly pulled up.
The errors vary in different ways and to different degrees, but in our experience, everyone makes them.
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 in developing the bike pedaling technique
- Fewer movements
- Longer distance
- Shorter time
Indoor app
The Bikepedalling app is currently suitable for indoor use. Indoors, bike pedaling errors are much easier to detect and correct than outdoors.
Download the Bikepedalling app to your Garmin device and use it during your training sessions.
