Training
Pedal-Based Power
Vector measures pedal-based power.
Vector measures the force you apply a few hundred times every second. Vector also measures your cadence or
rotational pedaling speed. By measuring the force, the direction of force, the rotation of the crank arm, and time,
Vector can determine power (watts). Because Vector independently measures left and right leg power, it reports
your left-right power balance.
NOTE: The Vector S system does not provide left-right power balance.
Training 5
Cycling Dynamics
Cycling dynamics metrics measure how you apply power throughout the pedal stroke, and where you apply
power on the pedal, allowing you to understand your particular way of riding. Understanding how and where you
produce power allows you to train more efficiently and evaluate your bike fit.
NOTE: You must have a compatible, dual sensing power meter connected using ANT+ technology to use cycling
dynamics metrics.
For more information, go to www.garmin.com/cyclingdynamics.
Using Cycling Dynamics
