Wattbike Expert Software and Wattbike Racing
The Wattbike Expert Software is ground-breaking. It goes far beyond any other sports software package. It offers the user an extraordinary range and depth of performance data for analysis and visualization. Its intuitive approach makes it suitable for everyone from recreational riders to sport scientists. Wattbike Expert Software is free and can be downloaded from www.wattbike.com.
Delivered through the Wattbike Computer Console, the software captures data 100 times per second and offers recall feedback across 27 different parameters. The range of data capture is unrivalled but the full power of the software is realized when the Computer Console is linked directly to a PC and the Wattbike Expert Software via its USB port.
Now everyone can monitor their performance knowing that the data is accurate, meaningful and comparable. This means that the recreational rider can compare their performance against their friends or even with Olympic champions and know that the comparison is valid. There is the ability to explore every facet of performance down to every pedal turn if that is what is required.
The beginner may want to simply track heart rate against power output to ensure training is in the correct zone but they will also be able to track other parameters such as percentage power in each leg to ensure leg symmetry.
For the professional rider, coach and sports scientist the Wattbike Expert Software represents a whole new world of scientific analysis and revolutionizes the concept of cycling performance measurement. It explores bio-mechanical parameters never before seen and offers in-depth analysis of every pedal turn.
Wattbike Racing
Using the Wattbike Expert Software, Wattbikes can be linked together to stage races in real-time. On each individual Computer Console the rider is able to track their own performance in relation to the race leader and also to see the progress of all the competitors displayed on a large Race Screen.
The main portion of the screen displays the race lanes and graduated distances along with the competitor’s name and a bike icon. As the race unfolds the bike icon moves from left to right across the screen.
Different parameters can be displayed such as distance travelled (metres), average power (Watts) and average cadence (r/m). However the race parameters are not restricted to just these three, using the Wattbike Expert Software it is possible to display a range of other parameters for example; heart rate (beats/min), average speed (km/h) and Pace (/km) etc.
The Race Screen also displays and constantly updates and ranks the position of each competitor, the distance covered and the distance each competitor is behind the race leader.
