Data File Management

Joule 3.0 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 3.0 for calculating averages, maximums and totals for Reports. Workout ﬁles are created in PowerAgent and sent to Joule 3.0.

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 3.0 acts as a mass storage device, activities and history ﬁles may also be viewed from a PC or Mac when connected via USB cable.

KJ/HR

Average Kj’s per hour of riding during a ride

TSS

Training Stress Score estimating the total amount of glycogen burned on a ride.

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.

Chapter 14: Deﬁnition of Common Training Terms

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.

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.

An exercise intensity considered to be hard. 5. An exercise intensity that can be held for a prolonged period of time ranging from 40 minutes to 2 hours. 6. Amongst athletes with similar VO2 max values the power at lactate threshold is the strongest predictor of performance.

Lactate Threshold Break Point

1. The power output or exercise intensity where blood lactate just begins to increase above its resting baseline. 2. An exercise intensity characterized as somewhat hard. 3. The upper end of the endurance training zone and the bottom end of the lactate threshold zone. 4.

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.

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.

Recovery Zone

3. On a 6 to 20 rating of perceived exertion scale, the recovery zone corresponds to a 6 to 10 or “very very light” to “very light.” 4. An exercise intensity dependent solely on aerobic metabolism of primarily fat. 5. An exercise intensity that can be held for an indeﬁnite time frame.

Relative Intensity

1. The intensity represented as a percentage of some maximal or sub-maximal reference value. For example, 300 watts would be 80% of VO2 max power or 100% of LT power.

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

Torque

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.
