Q How do we find out the coefficients that describe the wattage for a particular activity and velocity?
This is easy, since we only need to fit the wattage function $W(v)$ to some sample points of the respective activity.
Here are some typical samples for a walking 75kg person:
| $v$ [km/h] | $W(v)$ [kcal/h] |
|---|---|
| 4 | 270 |
| 6 | 437 |
| 9 | 655 |
| 12 | 873 |
| 15 | 1091 |
Here are some typical samples for a 75kg person riding on a 15kg touring bike (taken from www.kreuzotter.de):
| $v$ [km/h] | $W(v)$ [kcal/h] |
|---|---|
| 10 | 90 |
| 15 | 207 |
| 20 | 414 |
| 25 | 735 |
| 30 | 1169 |
