pedal_power: An estimation of pedalling power

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

Description

This function allows you to estimate the pedalling power which a non regular cyclist would be physically capable of for an hour at a time on a daily basis It returns pedalling power in Watts

Usage

pedal_power(data = NULL, personID = "personID", weight = "weight",
  outputvo2 = "outputvo2", LTpercent = "LTpercent",
  return_a_vector = TRUE)

Arguments

data

dataframe optional, default is NULL

personID

default = "personID" vector or character string of column name in data

weight

default = "weight", weight of bike and rider in kg

outputvo2

default = "outputvo2", estimate of volume oxygen uptake per min (mL/min)

LTpercent

default = "LTpercent", Threshold percentage of Vo2max

return_a_vector

default = TRUE

Details

The rationale for this is described in Philips I, Watling D, Timms P (2018) Estimating Individual Physical Capability (IPC) to make journeys by bicycle International Journal of Sustainable Transportation http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15568318.2017.1368748

Value

Threshold percentage of Vo2max
