Torque
Edited
In cycling, torque is essential for understanding the force applied with each pedal stroke. Tracking torque can help cyclists improve pedaling efficiency, power transfer, and overall performance. For more insights, see our in-depth article with John Wakefield on Torque Production.
Torque data appears in the:
Streams Graphs: Plotted alongside power and cadence to show variations over the session.
Intervals Tab: Added as a column for easy review of average torque per interval.
How Vekta Calculates Torque
Vekta automatically calculates torque (Nm) for every cycling session with power and cadence data using this formula:
Torque (Nm) = (60 × Power (W)) / (Cadence (rpm) × 2π)torque
