Calculating power and speed on a bike

In order to move the cyclist, we want to take into account the effects of the wind, the slope and the athlete's health. We also want to be able to measure the physiological effort made by the athlete. To do this, we need to calculate the forces that have to be overcome to move. There are at least three forces to take into account: the force of the air, the force of the wind and the force of friction. So we're going to talk about speed and power. Speed refers to displacement in time and power to energy expended in time. Read more
