Cycling Power Profile

Edited

Vekta’s Cycling Power Profile provides a complete view of your max power output across key time intervals, giving you and your coach the insights needed for data-driven training decisions.

What Is a Power Profile?

Your power profile shows your highest power outputs across various durations, each highlighting a unique part of your cycling performance:

  • 5 seconds: Peak sprint power and explosive strength

  • 1 minute: Anaerobic capacity for short, intense efforts

  • 5 minutes: Estimated VO2 max power

  • 20 minutes: Long-duration power output

  • 1 hour: Sustained endurance capacity

How Is It Computed?

After each cycling session with power data, Vekta’s algorithm identifies and updates your top power outputs for each duration. Using Critical Power (CP) modeling, it estimates parameters and predicts peak power output across selected durations. Learn more about CP modeling here.

Why Track Your Power Profile?

Your power profile highlights both your strengths and improvement areas, helping you and your coach customize your training, monitor progress, and stay motivated as you reach new peaks.
