Data from: Temporal power of a cycling sprinter: Experiments & effective time theory

Using data recorded on ergocycle and in situ at the National Velodrome of
Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, either during training sessions or during the
2022 World Championship, we first conduct an experimental study
on the decay over time of the power developed by a sprinter. We
then develop a theoretical model for the power output based on
the definition of an effective time to account for fatigue.
Comparisons between the model’s predictions and the experimental
data demonstrate a strong agreement across all tested conditions,
whether on the ergocycle or in the velodrome.
