Data File Management
Joule 2.0 saves three types of files into memory, activities, workouts and history. Activities files
contain second by second ride data for analysis by PC or Mac on software such as CycleOps
PowerAgent. History files contain summary data only and are used by Joule 2.0 for calculating
averages, maximums and totals for Reports. Workout files are created in PowerAgent and sent to
Joule 2.0.
Whenever ride time is accumulated an activities file is created and saved automatically. A history
file is generated anytime a ride is stopped and saved. Note: because history files are used by
Reports for calculating averages, maximums and totals it is important to manage them carefully,
only saving rides that you want to contribute to these calculations. Because Joule 2.0 acts as a
mass storage device, activities and history files may also be viewed from a PC or Mac when connected via USB cable.

Ratio of the normalized power to threshold power. Joule uses the mid-point between the threshold zone (zone
3) and the race pace zone (zone 4) as the threshold power value.
Peak Power
The highest average power output that can be held for a given duration. 2. For most individuals a peak sustainable power or peak power output lasting 4 to 8 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their VO2 max,
or maximal capacity to consume oxygen. 3. For most individuals a peak sustainable power output lasting 20 to
40 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their lactate threshold or a value of blood lactate 2 to3 mM
above their baseline blood lactate. 4. For most individuals a peak sustainable power output lasting 40 minutes
to 2 hours is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their lactate threshold, or a value of blood lactate just above
to 1 mM above their baseline blood lactate. 5. In cycling, the peak sustainable power for any given duration
is analogous to their best performance for a given time. For example, a runner might have a personal best of
5 minutes in a mile run and 35 minutes in a 10 km run, whereas a cyclist might have a personal best or peak
sustainable power of 400 watts for 5 minutes and 340 watts for 35 minutes.

M/FT GAIN
The total vertical distance in feet or meters traveled or climbed over a given distance ridden.
AV% GRADE
The rise or vertical increase in elevation divided by the run or horizontal distance traveled multiplied by 100
(rise ÷ run x 100).
M/FT LOST
The total vertical distance in feet or meters descended over a given distance ridden.
VAM
1. The rate of vertical ascent in meters per hour. Note: At an 8% grade, a rate of ascent of 1800 meters per hour
requires a power output of 6.3 watts per kg and is considered the upper limit for climbing speed in professional
cyclists.
Surges
A surge is a sudden, short acceleration lasting a minimum of 3 seconds within a particular w/kg zone. The value
is simply displayed as the number of times this occurs per watts/kg zone. Once a surge is recorded in a w/kg
zone, the w/kg value must drop at least 0.1 w/kg below the minimum zone value before a positive increase in
value back into that zone can be considered a new surge.

Using Workouts
Joule 2.0 offers two types of workouts, manual and saved, each managed in the Activities Mode.
Manual workouts may only be performed with a CycleOps 400 Pro indoor cycle or PowerBeam
Pro trainer. Saved workotus are created using PowerAgent software and transferred to Joule 2.0
Both workout types are helpful for making sure a specific workout plan is followed by displaying
the workout in a series of segments with target intenisty and rest indicated.

5. Press [JOYSTICK] in and release to change the resistance type from target power to target slope. Slope
measures grade steepness of your simulated climb. You can choose a grade between 0 and 25. The higher the
number, the steeper the slope you’re climbing. While in slope mode, the 400 Pro provides the resistance for the
selected slope at whatever speed you’re riding. The faster you pedal, the more resistance you’ll need to overcome, just like riding up an actual hill. The resistance the 400 Pro simulates is calculated considering the power
needed to climb the target slope on a road bike with slick tires and the user weight saved in Joule’s User Setup.
For information on setting up user weight see pages 66-67 or connect Joule to PowerAgent software to adjust
user weight.
6. Press [JOYSTICK] in and release again to change from target slope to gearing. The gearing setting uses the
previously set target slope but allows you to change the gear ratio simulated by the 400 Pro. This is useful for

8. Once selected, the roll down calibration process will begin with instructions to pedal at 18 mph.
9. Once at 18 mph, hold this speed for two minutes. A count down timer displays your remaining time.
10. After two minutes, immediately stop pedaling and allow the bicycle wheel to coast to a complete stop.
11. Do not touch or disturb the resistance unit while coasting. Do not pedal or apply the brakes while coasting.
12. After the resistance unit comes to a complete stop, a “Calibration Passed” message will be shown. Note: if
you do not wait the full two minutes or another issue occurs during calibration, a “Calibration Failed” message
will be shown and calibration must be repeated. Note: If calibration continues to fail, contact Saris Cycling
Group at 1-800-783-7257.
13. The unique rolling resistance calibration is now incorporated into the factory calibration. This calibration will
remain in the system until another calibration is performed.

Absolute Intensity
1. The actual intensity value. For example, 300 watts, 175 beats per minute, or a 7 on a 1 to 10 RPE
chart.
Angular Velocity
1. The rate at which a spinning object rotates. 2. How fast something is spinning in units of angle
per unit time such as degrees per second. 3. Angular displacement divided by elapsed time during which the displacement occurs. 4. Cadence or the number of revolutions a rotating object
such as a pedal makes in a given time frame. 5. At the pedals or rear hub, power is equal to torque
multiplied by angular velocity, thus angular velocity is equal to power divided by torque.
Calorie
1. A unit of energy equal to that needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram or ml of water 1 ˚C. 2.
A measure of thermal energy or the energy released when a fuel or substrate is burned.
Category 1 to 4 Climb
1. A rating system used to rank the difficulty of a climb that is based on a combination of the
length, grade, and location of the climb on the course. A category 1 climb is considered the most
difficult while a category 4 climb is considered the least difficult.
Elevation
1. The total vertical distance in feet or meters above sea level where 1 meter is equal to 3.224 feet.
Endurance Zone
1. A moderate exercise intensity where there is some stress or strain on the body 2. On a 1 to 10
RPE scale, an intensity corresponding to 3 to 4 or “moderate” to “sort of hard”. 3. On a 6 to 20 RPE
scale, an intensity corresponding to a 10 to 13 or “fairly light” to “somewhat hard.” 4. An exercise
intensity depending on the aerobic metabolism of both fat and carbohydrate. 5. An exercise

Force
1. A vector quantity that produces an acceleration of a body in the direction of its application. 2.
To push. 3. The amount of pressure applied to the pedals or rear hub. 4. A measure of strength. 5.
Power divided by velocity.
Gross Mechanical Efficiency (GME)
1. The percentage of stored energy or food burned by the body that is converted to actual power
output. For an average person riding a bicycle the gross mechanical efficiency is equal to 22%.
Thus, for every 100 Kcals burned by an average person, only 22 Kcals is converted to actual power
at the pedals or rear hub. The rest is simply dissipated as heat or is used for other non-pedaling
functions. 2. In the past GME has been shown to be an important predictor of cycling performance. Recent evidence, however, is controversial. Still, there are reports that the highest GME’s
found are in riders competing in grand tours like the Tour de France.
Hors Category Climb
1. A climb that is so difficult that it is beyond categorization. 2. Any climb longer and steeper than
a category 1 climb. 3. The most difficult climb in the Tour de France.
Horsepower
1. A measure of power where 1 horsepower is equal to 746 watts.
Intensity
1. The actual or perceived difficulty of a given workout, ride, or exercise bout. 2. The power output
or rate of energy expenditure. 3. How hard a workout, ride or exercise bout is. 4. The heat or temperature. 5. The degree of difficulty. 6. Stress, when measured directly as the actual power output.
7. Strain, when measured as the response to a given power output (e.g., heart rate, perceived
exertion, oxygen consumption) 8. The percent of some reference maximal or sub-maximal value.

corresponding to a 13 to 16 or “somewhat hard” to “very hard”. 4. A range of exercise intensity
beginning at a slight inflection or rise in the blood lactate over a resting baseline to an intensity
corresponding with a blood lactate 2 to 3 mM above a resting baseline. 5. A demarcation between
aerobic metabolism to a mix of anaerobic and aerobic metabolism. 6. An all out exercise intensity
that can be held between 40 minutes to 2 hours depending on the availability of stored carbohydrate or glycogen within the body.

body to reach its maximal capacity to consume oxygen (i.e., an exercise intensity that elicits VO2
max). 5. An all out or maximal effort that can be held between 2 to 8 minutes or an average of 4
minutes.
Joule 2.0 User Guide page 79
Chapter 14: Definition of Common Training Terms
Periodization
1. Breaking a training or race program into distinct periods where different attributes important to a cyclist’s overall performance are developed. 2. The idea that training adaptations are
optimized by periods of hard work that exceed the average training load accustomed to by the
athlete which are then followed by periods of easy work or recovery that are below the average
training load normally performed by the athlete.
Peak Sustainable Power or Peak Power
1. The highest average power output that can be held for a given duration. 2. For most individuals
a peak sustainable power or peak power output lasting 4 to 8 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their VO2 max, or maximal capacity to consume oxygen. 3. For most individuals a
peak sustainable power output lasting 20 to 40 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits
their lactate threshold or a value of blood lactate 2 to3 mM above their baseline blood lactate. 4.
For most individuals a peak sustainable power output lasting 40 minutes to 2 hours is equivalent
to an intensity that elicits their lactate threshold, or a value of blood lactate just above to 1 mM
above their baseline blood lactate. 5. In cycling, the peak sustainable power for any given duration is analogous to their best performance for a given time. For example, a runner might have a
personal best of 5 minutes in a mile run and 35 minutes in a 10 km run, whereas a cyclist might
have a personal best or peak sustainable power of 400 watts for 5 minutes and 340 watts for 35
minutes.

Chapter 14: Definition of Common Training Terms
Rating of Perceived Exertion (PE or RPE)
1. An individual’s rating of effort or intensity typically scored on a 1 to 10 scale where 1 is equal
to rest and 10 is equal to a maximal or all out effort. 2. An individual’s rating of effort or intensity
scored on a 6 to 20 scale, where 6 is equal to rest and meant to be equivalent of a resting heart
rate of 60 beats per minute and 20 is equal to a maximal effort or a heart rate of 200 beats per
minute.

Strain or Response
1. An indirect measure of the exercise intensity such as the cardiovascular (i.e., heart rate), metabolic, or psychological response to a given power output. 2. A measure of the total training load
or work done that is based on a person’s response to a workout or bout of exercise rather than on
the actual work. 3. An index of the effect a given pattern or distribution of power output or stress
has on a given individual that is analogous to a wind chill factor or heat index. 4. A composite
representation of the difficulty of a ride or workout that is based on indirect measures of exercise
intensity rather than direct measures of exercise intensity. 5. A composite representation of the
exercise intensity based on a manipulation of the actual or direct measure of power.
Stress or Stimulus
1. A direct measure of the exercise intensity such as the power output.
2. The total amount of work done in Kjoules calculated from direct measures of power output.
Stress to Strain Index
1. The ratio between the actual work done calculated from direct measures of power and the
work done calculated from perceived exertion. Theoretically, if an index of 1.0 indicates that a
rider’s perception of effort matches what actually happens. An index below 1.0 indicates that the
rider feels the effort was easier than what actually happened. Finally, an index above 1.0 indicates
that the rider feels the effort was harder than what actually happened. The index allows us to
relate the actual stress to an athlete’s strain. That is, it allows us to better understand how a given
amount of work affects the rider. If the index is below 1.0, there is a minimal effect while above 1.0
there is a strong effect.
Supra-Max Zone
1. A very short, all out effort that exceeds the power output associated with VO2 max or a person’s
max zone. 2. An exercise intensity that is almost entirely dependent on the anaerobic metabolism
of stored ATP, Phosphagens, and carbohydrates. 3. An all out effort lasting 1 second to 2 minutes.
Torque
1. A force applied through a turning axis at a point some distance away from that axis. 2. A turning
or twisting force. 3. Force x Distance. 4. Power divided by angular velocity.
Joule 2.0 User Guide page 82
Chapter 14: Definition of Common Training Terms
VO2 Max
1. The maximal amount of oxygen that a person can consume and process measured in liters of
oxygen per minute (absolute) or in milliliters of oxygen per minute per kilogram of body weight
(normalized to body weight). 2. The upper limit of aerobic metabolism. 3. A strong predictor of
endurance performance in a mixed population of individuals. 4. An exercise intensity corresponding with the maximal power output a person can hold between 2 to 8 minutes.
Work from RPE
1. The total amount of work in Kjoules calculated by estimating the average power output from a
rider’s perceived exertion rather than the actual power. 2. An estimate of the total work or energy
released that is based on the rider’s rating of perceived exertion.
