SuperCycle ProSuperCycle Pro Exclusive: Weighted Average Power (WAP), ride Intensity, and Training Stress analytics are available in SuperCycle Pro.
SuperCycle Pro offers advanced training metrics for cyclists using power meters, providing equivalents to standard physiological training figures:
Equivalent Power Figures (WAP, Intensity & Stress)
SuperCycle numbers are algorithmic equivalents to Dr. Andrew Coggan's classic power calculations:
- Weighted Average Power (WAP): Algorithmic equivalent to Normalized Power® (NP®). Uses a rolling 30-second 4th-power algorithm to accurately reflect the true physiological strain of surging efforts and climbs compared to simple average watts.
- Intensity: Algorithmic equivalent to Intensity Factor® (IF®). The ratio of your Weighted Average Power to your configured Functional Threshold Power (FTP). A value of 1.0 represents riding at threshold.
- Stress: Algorithmic equivalent to Training Stress Score® (TSS®). Quantifies overall workout fatigue and cumulative training load based on duration and intensity.
Looking for Anaerobic Reserve & ECP? Extended Critical Power (ECP) modeling, Anaerobic Reserve (W'bal), 7-zone metabolic tracking (Slow Death, Fast Death, etc.), and peak power records are available in both Free and Pro versions.
