How it measures

"All participants were required to complete a 7.5 km time trial on a computerized cycle ergometer (Velotron, Quarq Technology, Spearfish, SD, USA). Following a 5 min warm up at 75 W, subjects were instructed to complete the course “as quickly as possible”. Participants self-selected their gear ratio and cadence and were blinded to all performance information during the trial, except for elapsed time and distance. All bike measurements (seat height, etc.) and gear selections were recorded and replicated for subsequent follow-up testing. Subjects were permitted to drink water ad libitum during the test." [1]
