Normalised Power: Rolling Averages, the 4th Power & the Variability Index
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You smooth a surging ride file with a 30-second rolling average, raise it to the 4th power, take the mean and the 4th root to get normalised power, and compare it with the plain average as a variability index.
