Cycling Power Metrics Explained

The best thing about smart trainers is their ability to measure power produced by the cyclist. If you are new to training with power, this one metric will change the way you train. With a smart trainer or a power meter, your indoor training is more efficient and effective.

Your smart trainer can measure the power produced by you at any given moment and you will see that number displayed on whatever device or application paired with your smart trainer. But there is a lot more to that number than what you see on the screen or your average power.
