The Polar Power
Sensor measures pedalling power, left/ right balance (LRB describes the share
of power output of left and right as a percentage), pedalling index (PI
describes how evenly power output was produced during a cycle round), speed,
cadence and distance when cycling. The Polar Power Sensor set consists of four
sensors which are compatible with the Polar S710, S720i,
S725 and the Polar S625X heart rate monitor
and is the ultimate in cycling accessories.
Today's elite cyclist are
turning to Polar Power Output (wattage) to help prepare for competition.
Measuring Power is a tool most useful in analyzing training or racing data
after a ride. Instantaneous Power readings will vary throughout the pedal
stroke due to the inconsistent cadence of most cyclists. Because of these
variations, the best use of the Power measurement is in the analysis that is
done once you are off your bike.
The key to using Power is in two
areas. For short, maximum efforts such as a 20 second sprint over 1000 watts.
Or longer rides where the Power average over the course of the ride, in
conjunction with heart rate, will provide the telling details. Pete Pensyres,
past winner of RAAM (Race Across America), uses his 720i and Power unit to
analyze rides over 1 hour. He combines that data with his heart rate average
for a look at what type of ride he had.
