Flying 200m Power, Power Data in 1s-60s Time Period

Roadie_scum

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me typical trail-off and population variation in power over 1 second to 60 seconds? Eg, what fraction of your peak power is your 10-15 second power likely to be, and what is your 60 second power likely to be relative to that? And how much does this change person to person?

Also, does anyone have power data for flying 200's they could show me, or better, a basic equation to estimate required power for a given time under different rider parameters?

And finally, can someone point me towards Andy Coggan's excel file on power profiles with the Category information next to it?

Cheers,

Roadie.

I don't have 60 second data, but I read results of a wingate test on national level US track sprinters and the 30 sec avg was like 1275 w with a peak power of about 1850 w.

Thanks very much!

Note that that's the original version of the table, which I've since revised. You can get the latest version, as well as read all the explanatory material (which I highly recommend), by going here:

FYI, based on numerous 60 s Wingate-like tests I did for my senior honor's thesis:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/...st_uids=6746177

the average % decline in power over that period would be around 55% - however, there will be a considerable range, with the "true sprinters" generating the highest initial power but declining the most (up to 75%) and the slow-twitchers producing the lowest power to start but declining the least (maybe only 40%).

do you have a link to that data?

1275 for 30 seconds seems about right

Velomanct, no I read hard copy, but I can give you the reference: Garret & Kirkendall, Exercise & Sports Science, Lipincott Williams & Wilkins

I think this for sometime in the 80's, Male Track National Team:

The exact data 10 sec wingate: 1779 w pk, 1504 w avg
30 sec wingate: 1730 w pk, 1258 w avg
