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

description: 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.
description: The datasets for the ergocycle and track experiments were
 collected using an instrumented crank that measures applied torque with
 strain gauges and pedaling cadence with an angle encoder (ergocycle) or a
 gyroscope (track). The instrumented crank, which enables the measurement
 of torque and pedaling cadence on the track, received approval from the
 International Cycling Union (UCI) in 2020 for use in competitions.
 Consequently, it was employed during the 2022 World Championships to
 record the data presented in the article regarding the kilometer time
 trial. To process the data and compare them with the
 theoretical model, MATLAB was utilized.

Data Collection The data was collected during training sessions using different gear ratio in races of different distances. The measurements were taken using specialized equipment to capture the torque and angular velocity during the sprints. Usage Notes To analyze the data, you can use any data analysis software that supports text file imports, such as Python or MATLAB. Ensure that the data is correctly parsed according to the delimiter used in the files. The data can be used to reproduce the graphs in Figure 11 or for further analysis of cycling performance.
