Excerpt

There is a relatively flat power–cadence relationship between 60 and 100 rpm in fatigued subjects (Beelen and Sargeant 1991). Does this mean power output measured at 80–100 rpm can be compared with power output at 40 rpm? Burnley (2010) says no, but Marcora and Staiano would argue that this is acceptable. …
