Finding a more efficient techniqueYou may be familiar with the core functions of a power meter (controlling your training intensities, tracking your fitness, measuring your training load and pacing your race), but you may not be aware that a power meter is the best tool for establishing which technique is most efficient. The most efficient technique is the technique which allows you to transfer as much of your power output to the boat as possible. In other words, to convert as much of your energy output into kinetic energy (forward motion). The diagram below outlines two methods for finding a more efficient stroke. On the left, the athlete paddles at a constant power output and refines their technique to increase (maximize) their boat speed. On the right, the athlete paddles at a constant boat speed (relies on ideal water and weather conditions) and refines their technique to decrease (minimize) their power output.

Hear what our customers have to say"I would like to congratulate you on producing a beautifully engineered and very practical product. I'm looking forward to collecting lots of data over the coming months. I'm a veteran paddler and I'm planning to use the power meter to make performance comparisons of various beginner/intermediate K1s and surf skis. It will be useful for our club members to quantify the expected speed differences between stable/less-stable boats." - David Glover (United Kingdom) Recommended readingThough originally written for cyclists, 'Training and Racing with a Power Meter' covers universal information about getting the most out of your power meter. From fatigue profiling to predicting future performance and timing peak form, this book is a must-read for those of you who want to know power inside out. |
