Validity and Reproducibility of the Ergomo®Pro Power Meter Compared With the SRM and Powertap Power Meters
The Ergomo®Pro (EP) is a power meter that measures power output (PO) during outdoor and indoor cycling via 2 optoelectronic sensors located in the bottom bracket axis. The aim of this study was to determine the validity and the reproducibility of the EP compared with the SRM crank set and Powertap hub (PT). Read the article.
