Limiting radial pedal forces greatly reduces maximal power output and efficiency in sprint cycling: an optimal control study

A cyclist’s performance depends critically on the generated average mechanical power output (AMPO). The instantaneous mechanical power output equals the product of crank angular velocity, crank length, and the tangential pedal force. Radial pedal forces do not contribute to mechanical power. It has...
