A better way to burn calories on your bike

Beskrivelse

A new study shows that recreational bikers use less energy when pedaling more slowly, unlike expert cyclists. ... Ernst Hansen, a sports scientist at Aalborg University in Denmark who was not involved in the research, agrees that equations describing cycling performance should include pedaling rate. But he argues that the new equation is relatively simplistic because it does not account for individual differences in muscle-fiber efficiency and choice of pedaling rate.
