Abstract:
1. A system for measuring an output power developed in a crankset, comprising: at least one pedal for actuating a crank of the crankset, the pedal having at least one guide rail provided on a lateral surface of the pedal; a single pressure sensor capable of measuring an orthogonal force exerted by a user on the pedal; at least one sensor for determining an angular position of the crank around a rotation axis of the crankset different from a rotation axis of the pedal with respect to the crank; a calculator for determining, by means of a pre-established model of distribution of a force exerted on the pedal according to said angular position, a tangential force exerted on the crank; and an element for fastening to the pedal, the element having the pressure sensor affixed thereto, and an interface plate capable of transmitting a force exerted by the user to the pressure sensor, wherein said element is assembled on the pedal via the guide rail provided on the pedal.
