Vekta Volume

What Is It?
Vekta Volume is a cutting-edge metric that quantifies both the total work performed during a cycling session and the rate at which energy is produced. Scaled from 0 to over 100, higher values reflect sessions that demand significant energy output, intensity, or duration.

Why It Matters
Vekta Volume offers a precise understanding of session demands, enabling athletes and coaches to gauge energy expenditure and physiological strain. Unlike other metrics, Vekta Volume adjusts for body weight, ensuring fair comparisons between riders of different sizes and highlighting true progress over time—regardless of performance improvements (unlike Training Stress Score® - TSS®).

How It’s Calculated
Vekta Volume accounts for key factors like session duration, total energy output (measured in kilojoules), and body weight. Incorporating these variables ensures an accurate and unbiased representation of training load, avoiding common pitfalls that can favor certain rider profiles.

Applicable Sports
Currently, Vekta Volume is only tailored for cycling.

What’s Needed to Calculate It?

• Power data from the session.

• Rider’s body weight.

• Session duration.
